In accordance with standards for occupational heat exposure under the General Duty Clause, Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) of 1970, employers are required to provide their employees with a place of employment that "is free from recognizable hazards that are causing or likely to cause death or serious harm to employees."  Due to the failure of the climate control system, the administrative office will close at noon on today. We hope to resume regularly scheduled business hours on Thursday, May 16, 2019.

If you have an emergency, please dial 911 for immediate assistance or our non-emergency communications center MECA at (870) 541-5300
