Last week, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recently released a Small Entity Compliance Guide for Construction for the Respirable Crystalline Silica Standard. According to OSHA, “the guide is intended to help small business employers comply with the rule by explaining each requirement in easy-to-understand language.”

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has published a revised version of Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification. The changes are designed to reduce errors and enhance form completion using a computer.

By Jan. 22, 2017, employers must use only the new version, dated 11/14/2016. Until then, they can continue to use the version dated 03/08/2013 or the new version.
