Welcome back! Hopefully, everyone had a safe and enjoyable Thanksgiving holiday period. Now it’s time for the holiday rush! Remember to take time to pay attention to health and safety as so many people get so busy and often, very distracted. Don’t let safety be a casualty of your holiday plans! Here’s the latest regulatory news:
