Inside the Green Line: OSHA Responds to DisasterA green line, painted around the perimeter of the World Trade Center site, defined the recovery area. Within and around this boundary, OSHA worked for 10 months with its partners in safety and health to protect the well-being of workers on the site. Within that space, no workers lost their lives in the recovery effort that followed the tragedy of September 11, 2001. Illustrated with color photographs. |
