Recordable injuries (OSHA 300 log entries) include any that require medical treatment beyond first aid. Reportable injuries — which trigger an immediate notification to OSHA — are limited to fatalities (within 8 hours) and inpatient hospitalizations, amputations, or eye losses (within 24 hours). The categories are not the same.XXX-XXX-XXXXXXX-XXX-XXXX

Foundation failures rarely originate at the slab; they originate in soil bearing capacity, drainage, or expansive-clay behavior that was either uninvestigated or not honored in the design. A geotechnical report that is older than the building's design or that did not sample at the actual building footprint is a red flag.XXX-XXX-XXXXXXX-XXX-XXXX
Foundation remediation costs typically exceed the original foundation cost by 5-10x. Investing in current, footprint-specific geotechnical work is the cheapest insurance a project carries.XXX-XXX-XXXXXXX-XXX-XXXX
