Feds to retailers: Have a safe Black Friday, or else

OSHA issues letter, guidelines to merchants on protecting workers from holiday stampedes

“Regulators are warning the nation's top retailers to ensure the safety of their workers on Black Friday in the face of what could be a rush for holiday deals in a tough economic environment.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has issued a strongly worded letter to merchants such as Target, Macy's, Wal-Mart and JC Penney, among others, saying retailers should take precautions to prevent workers from getting injured on the day after Thanksgiving, one of the busiest shopping days of the year and the traditional start of the holiday shopping season.”
