6,300 safety hazards just in Capital Hill Buildings.
1058 fire hazards
1742 electrical problems
102 storage shelving violations
70 machine guarding violations (In the last fiscal year, the machining industry had just 56 violations. Capital Hill machine guarding violations alone are equal to about 125% of the entire machining industry’s violations for the entire country in 2009)
25% of hazards continue to be high risk to employees and visitors.

That “new sheriff in town” and this administration is merely trying to enhance revenue from private manufacturers – shops like ours. If it was about safety, well, why wouldn’t they start on Capital Hill? Thats where 11250% of the violations are compared to machining.
