"Beginning in July, OSHA will increase the number of inspectors in Texas for a concentrated effort to prevent injuries and fatalities at construction sites. When these inspectors observe unsafe scaffolds, fall risks, trenches or other hazards, they are empowered to launch an immediate investigation," announced Secretary [Hilda L. Solis]. "As I have said since my first day on the job - the U.S. Department of Labor is back in the enforcement business."

In the afternoon, at an informal luncheon with local veteran service organizations and members of the American G.I.

The grants were awarded under the Labor Department's Homeless Veterans' Reintegration Program.
