I read that the printed version of the final Z10 Occupational Health and Safety Standard is now available. Has anyone seen the final version; how does it compare to the last draft? Do you have any observations on how it compares to OHSAS 18001?

Yep! I have a copy right off the press as we speak. In some ways it's as strong or stronger than 18K and in others its not as strong. I'm working up a better response for posting in a few days.

Survived Katrina and Rita

We were some of the lucky ones, with no flooding in Metairie (eastern part of Jefferson Parish) and only tree limbs down, and, of course, dead refrigerator contents. After 20 days in Houston with my parents (yes, you can go back home again, but it isn't the same), my wife, daughter, and dog are back home again as of a little over a week ago.

Some of our firends, relatives, and my co-workers lost everything, because they lived in New Orleans or in other areas with 5 to 10 feet of water. Most will re-settle back in the area, but some are moving. Real estate in the areas that stayed dry are now at a premium; for example, evacuees have driven up many house sales in Baton Rouge by 30% or more.

The New Orleans area is very strange right now, with some areas still flooded, others now dry after up to 10 - 12 feet of water, many areas still without power, and a lot of wind damage.

I can't go back to work again until October 3 when they finish the repairs to my office building, because of roof and other damage. There are only a few grocery stores, restaurants, and businesss now open. Many areas you can't drive past because the water levels are still too high.

Why would you want it to begin with? It's an "American" standard and the rest of the civilized world is using OHSAS 18001, an international standard.
