Go inside the Hot Sheet:
“Builder confidence rose this month and single-family housing starts are up roughly 10 percent from a year ago — two indicators that we can expect further growth in housing production this year. However, builders continue to face supply-side constraints, such as shortages of build- able lots and labor.”

             - NAHB Chief Economist, Robert Dietz

On Aug. 1, penalties issued by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) for regulation infractions will rise by up to 150% depending on the type of violation.

OSHA intends to provide guidance on the implementation of the new penalties by Aug. 1 and will issue revisions to its Field Operations Manual. Additionally, to address the impact it may have on small businesses, the agency plans to continue providing penalty reductions based on employer size and other factors. Learn more >>
