The Guam Hotel and Restaurant Association’s Committee on Safety and Security held their monthly meeting on March 1, 2006 at the Westin Resort Guest speaker at the event was Mr. Anthony Anderson, Project Manager for the Guam Department of Labor's OSHA On-Site Consultation Program. In his presentation Mr. Anderson expressed his concerns that the anticipated military build-up will foster widespread construction activity that will impact the civilian community as well.  “It is not unlikely that the anticipated increases (activity) will also spur additional expansion or new development within our tourism and related industries.” “Employee safety has always been a critical concern for Guam’s employers”. “Although we welcome the increased development and the anticipated revenue that these construction projects bring to our island, such spontaneous activities present a significant challenge to those Business Owners, Contractors and Safety and Health Managers responsible for assuring safety and health compliance “.
