Answer to Question 1

In general, the OSHAct covers employers in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and all other territories that fall under the jurisdiction of the U.S. government. Exempted employers are as follows:
 Persons who are self-employed
 Family farms that employ only immediate family members
 Federal agencies covered by other federal statues (in cases where these other federal statues do not cover working conditions in a specific area or areas, OSHA standards apply)
 State and local governments (except to gain OSHA's approval of a state-level safety and health plan, states must provide a program for state and local government)
 Coal miners (coal mines are regulated by mining-specific laws)

Answer to Question 2

The future of workers' compensation can be summarized in one word: reform. The key to reforming workers' compensation is finding a way to allocate more of the cost to benefits and medical treatment and less to administration and litigation

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
