There are numerous guidelines for employers and seemingly endless regulations - and updates of these regulations - to protect staff in their working environment. It is also worthwhile to mention that there can also be a negative effect on employers through accidents and near misses in the workplace; when employees accuse the company of negligence and a failure to comply with regulations.

He replied, "the Miccosukee Indians built it for me." I asked him how to get in touch with the Indians who built it, and he game me the phone number of an Indian...

In short, BRAC is intended to make our military more efficient. The BRAC procedure entails closing excess military installations and realigning (relocating) the total asset inventory.
