We discovered that OSHA has no jurisdiction south of I-10 in Mississippi. UNLESS there is a complaint and an accident! We found out that when we went to do a project in Gulfport, there were 2 fatalities. OSHA did an inspection, while we were there...of course! They specifically targeted AED and could only say we needed double hearing protection for drilling. We looked across the street at a project going on atop Mississippi Power's office and there were guys on the roof (12th floor) with zero railings, zero fall protection and zero nets. That's when the Inspectors told us they had no jurisdiction!!! How ironic and moronic.
