Your HBA was informed this morning that OSHA is targeting construction sites in Greenville, Spartanburg, and Anderson. They call this a blitz enforcement. OSHA currently has staff in the Upstate identifying sites for potential enforcement. In particular, they are looking for fall hazards and struck-by hazards.
Be sure all of your sites, even single-home sites, are in full compliance with OSHA rules and regulations.
The Home Builders Association of Greenville are your neighbors and community leaders providing education and support for building industry professionals. We create jobs, encourage homeownership, and promote responsible growth throughout the upstate of South Carolina.

PEX/HDPE Service Pipe Rule Change at Greenville Water
Greenville Water recently adopted a rule that PEX and HDPE pipe must be installed with a tracer wire attached by the manufacturer. Tracer wire attached by anyone other than the manufacturer will not be accepted.
In addition, Greenville Water has announced that repairs to PEX or HDPE pipe may not be made with "SharkBite" push-to-connect fittings. Repairs may only be made using compression fitting as specified by Greenville Water's Standard Specifications, which can be found at greenvillewater.com.
