BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.
To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.
To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Occupational Safety and Health Administration investigators again cited a Schaumburg, Illinois-based excavating contractor for failure to follow federally mandated safety measures to protect workers from potentially deadly trench cave-ins.
Trench collapses are among the construction industry's most lethal hazards and a recent focus of OSHA.
OSHA reported that an inspector in June observed two employees of A. Lamp Concrete Contractors Inc. in a 7-foot-deep trench in Broadview, Illinois, working on municipal sewer and water lines without adequate cave-in protection or safe ways to get in and out of the trench.
Following its investigation, OSHA cited the company for three repeat, one serious and one other-than-serious violations of federal trenching and excavation standards, and proposed penalties of $118,962. The agency cited A. Lamp Concrete in 2018 and 2021 for exposing workers to cave-in hazards.
The company has 15 days to contest the citation.
