Avatar m tn 27 AM WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration has delayed by nearly a year a plan to boost safety standards for the type of rail car involved in a fiery explosion that killed at least 47 people in Canada this month. Officials began work on the rule more than a year before an oil train derailed and exploded in Quebec on July 6 — but the rule was never put in place.

This company, Welspun, is being investigated for producing sub-standard steel that led to spills and leaks in other pipeline projects. Plus, TransCanada has procured this pipe even though they have not received a Presidential Permit to construct KXL.
Avatar n tn Pus means there is an infection, and at this point I would see your doctor. You may have something embedded in your knee that you know nothing about, and until that is removed it will stay infected. A friend of mine woke up with extreme pain on one side of his stomach and when he went to the hospital they found a piece of metal embedded in his stomach. He was in construction years prior to this and still doesn't recall any incident where this could have happened.

I never made a secret of the fact that I was doing tx, partly because I feel it's a safety issue for everyone if you're not 100%. As for "doing high work", I would seriously consider using fall restraint PPE, especially if you become anemic. Good luck.
Avatar m tn With regards to asbestos exposure, he should discuss the situation with other employees, his employee health and safety representative, and his employers. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) can provide more information or make an inspection.

Avatar n tn I think it is a nice idea but I am sure that things have to be to code or very specific for a crib. Not as strict for a bassinet though.
1157044 tn?1318300124 I cannot tolerate earplugs for long since my ears seem to be a sensitive place for my pain to rage as well. I do try to keep an ipod going all the time, but even if it can drown out the drilling noise it does nothing to help the vibration that runs right through my body. I have MS nerve pain. That sends my nerves raging almost worse than the noise. If that were not enough, the dynamite blasts I believe will start tonight, unless the potential storm delays it.
Avatar f tn I would definitely talk to your doctor. I think for the 1st trimester you will be ok, just really have to watch how much weight u lift at a time and probably shouldn't wear your heavy tool belt. As you progress, depending on if you have any other complications or not, you may have to reduce how much you're up and down a ladder, again how much you lift, etc. And as your belly grows, it will be harder and harder to fit into some of the areas you need to for pulling wire, etc.

1301089 tn?1290666571 Isn't this nice! We're giving those dear little drug smugglers and murderers their own park. Never mind it's American National Parkland. Funded and paid for with American tax money. I guess actually guarding it with armed Guardsmen might insult someone.
Avatar n tn I've had a tickling sensation in my throat for over 4 weeks now, since May 4th. I usually do not cough as to not make it worse. It is always a dry cough. No sounds in my chest. Some days are better than others. Right when my eyes open in the morning, I feel completely fine. Shortly after, I gradually start to feel the tickle come back. I do have seasonal allergies, however pollen has been in the "low" for the past 3 days and today I feel the tickle as bad as day 1.
676912 tn?1332812551 A friend of mine may be in some deep poop, so I'm posting to warn all of you because my friend did not ever think this could happen to her. She was a sleep when her three year old daughter woke up and decided to go out the front door. She woke up and looked for her and didn't find her, went to the front door and a cop was there with her daugther. Aparently she saw kids walking to school and wanted to go play with them and did not wake her mom up.
Avatar m tn I work in a theater that’s been under construction for a few months. They are installing new stadiums and seats. I know they are drilling/jackhammering concrete, mixing concrete and other general construction tasks like that. I try to be careful to avoid the areas where the construction is heaviest but some times my tasks force me to move through them. I also have to spend some time in an office that is directly beside one of these theaters.

Avatar f tn I was taken out a month after I was born (nowhere serious) and I ended up inhaling something around a construction site that paralyzed me and I was in the hospital from a month and a half to a year old... it was just bad timing.... but the other day I saw this mom friend of mine take her 1 week old to bingo... I was kinda taken back, but only because of my experience.....how soon is too soon to take baby out, not camping of course theres always next year.
1932244 tn?1323292210 Pregnancy loss due to cervical incompetence is a risk for the next pregnancy. For this reason, you should be sure to consult with a high-risk pregnancy specialist or other experienced OB/GYN early in your next pregnancy and ideally before conception. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps.
Avatar f tn In Australia there is a site called kidsafe that rates all available car seats, prams, strollers, cots etc that are available. It rates everything from safety through to prices. Just wondering if perhaps the US has a similar site!
Avatar f tn My question is will it harm me in any way for staying on it? I dont want to cause any more problems for myself by staying on it but evidently I lack serotonin and the paxil replaces it. Any info that you might give me would be greatly appreciated.
Avatar n tn This is a legitimate question for your cardiologist, who knows about your condition and level of fitness and can weigh the risks.
