Leverett Jr., Ph.D., CPCU, CLU, Peter Shedd, J.D., and James Trieschmann, Ph.D., CPCU, CLU Abstract: When an agency is sold, frequently an agreement is signed that limits the rights of the seller to compete with the buyer of the agency. These covenants not to compete have serious tax and legal implications, which are not discussed in this article. The sale of an agency is a complex transaction, and the allocation of the purchase price to the various segments of the sales contract increases the need for careful negotiation. Any sales contract should include a specific dollar figure allocated to goodwill, fixed assets, the book of business (expirations), and the covenant not to compete. How these allocations are made in the contract have considerable impact on the taxes owed by the buyer and the seller, and consequently on the agency's value. Each of these allocations could be the subject of a separate article; this article is concerned only with the allocation and enforceability of the covenant not to compete. DEFINITION A covenant not to compete (sometimes referred to as the noncompetition agreement') is, in essence, an agreement that restricts the seller's right to compete with the agency sold. The buyer negotiates for this covenant to get an adequate opportunity to win the loyalty of the agency's existing customers. The seller may agree to this ...

INFORMATION DATE 19920216 DESCRIPTION USDOL Program Highlights-OSHA's Final Rule on Formaldehyde TOPIC Formaldehyde SUBJECT Occupational Exposure to Formaldehyde ABSTRACT Formaldehyde is one of the most common chemicals in use today. As a chemical building block, its use can be traced to consumer goods through a wide spectrum of manufacturing processes. The use of formaldehyde as a preservative in medical laboratories and as an embalming agent in mortuaries is generally known. Formaldehyde is primarily used in the manufacture of urea, phenol, and melamine resins and for a variety of special industrial chemicals. The downstream use of formaldehyde-based inputs is found throughout the U.S. economy. It contributes to the production of about 8 percent of the gross national product (GNP) of the United States.

The agency encourages communities to call upon OSHA and its staff for a variety of services and technical assistance aimed at promoting safe and healthful working conditions. For example, OSHA safety and health personnel are available to speak at civic clubs, union meetings, and trade association gatherings. When appropriate, OSHA field offices will issue news releases at the local level and brief newspaper and broadcast reporters. These outreach efforts are designed to explain new OSHA standards, encourage participation in OSHA rulemakings and answer questions about the agency's approach to workplace safety and health.

INFORMATION DATE 19910815 DESCRIPTION USDOL Program Highlights on Workplace Fire Safety SUBJECT Workplace Fire Safety ABSTRACT OSHA standards require employers to provide proper exits, fire fighting equipment, emergency plans, and employee training to prevent fire deaths and injuries in the workplace. Some of the requirements include building fire exits, portable fire extinguishers, fire suppression system and a fire prevention plan. U.S. Department of Labor Program Highlight Fact Sheet No. OSHA 91-41 WORKPLACE FIRE SAFETY Fire safety is important business. National Fire Prevention Week is intended to focus on the importance of fire safety in the home, in schools and at work. But workplace fire safety is the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) principal focus and saving lives and preventing injuries due to fire is a key concern. There is a long and tragic history of workplace fires in this country. One of the most notable was the fire at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory in New York City in 1911 in which nearly 150 women and young girls died because of locked fire exits and inadequate fire extinguishing systems. History has repeated itself recently in the fire in Hamlet, NC, where 25 workers died in a fire in a poultry processing plant. It appears that here, too, there were problems with fire exits and extinguishing systems. When OSHA conducts workplace inspections, it checks to see whether employers are complying with OSHA standards for fire safety. OSHA standards require employers to provide proper exits, fire fighting equipment, ...

INFORMATION DATE 19920925 DESCRIPTION USDOL Program Highlights, Protecting Workers in Hot Environments TOPIC Hot Environments SUBJECT Protecting Workers in Hot Environments ABSTRACT Many workers spend a good part of their time in hot environments. The body reacts to high external temperature by circulating blood to the skin which increases skin temperature and allows the body to give off its excess heat through the skin. However, if the muscles are being used for physical labor, less blood is available to flow to the skin and release the heat. Steps should be taken to reduce chances of heat stress and heat disorders such as stroke, exhaustion, cramps, fainting and heat rash. Information is available to aid in preventing or reducing these problems. U.S. Department of Labor Program Highlights Fact Sheet No. OSHA 92-16 PROTECTING WORKERS IN HOT ENVIRONMENTS Many workers spend some part of their working day in a hot environment. Workers in foundries, laundries, construction projects, and bakeries-to name a few industries-often face hot conditions which pose special hazards to safety and health. HEAT STRESS CAUSES BODY REACTIONS Four environmental factors affect the amount of stress a worker faces in a hot work area-temperature, humidity, radiant heat (such as from the sun or a furnace) and air velocity. Perhaps most important to the level of stress an individual faces are personal characteristics such as age, weight, fitness, medical condition and acclimatization to the heat. The body reacts to high external temperature by circulating blood to the skin ...

INFORMATION DATE 19910815 DESCRIPTION USDOL Program Highlights on Waste Anesthetic Gases SUBJECT Waste Anesthetic Gases ABSTRACT The waste anesthetic gases and vapors of concern are nitrous oxide and halogenated agents (vapors) such as halothane, enflurane, methoxyflurane, trichloroethylene, and chloroform. The list of workers with potential for exposure to WAGs includes nurses, physicians-surgeons, obstetricians, gynecologists-operating room technicians, and recovery room personnel; dentists and veterinarians and their assistants; and other auxiliaries. Hospital emergency room personnel may also be exposed, but not on a regular basis. OSHA, therefore, has developed technical instructions designed to give guidance for coping with exposure to WAGs. The instructions cover sampling methods, leak test procedures, medical surveillance, disposal methods, training and exposure to WAGs. U.S. Department of Labor Program Highlight Fact Sheet No. OSHA 91-38 WASTE ANESTHETIC GASES Anesthesia is as common to medical care as is antiseptic care of wounds. However, for too long exposure to and control of waste anesthetic gases (WAGs) and vapors during surgical procedures have put health care workers in jeopardy. At any given time more than 250,000 people who work in hospitals, operating rooms, dental offices, and veterinary clinics, might be exposed unnecessarily to harmful levels of WAGs. The waste anesthetic gases and vapors of concern are nitrous oxide and halogenated agents (vapors) such as halothane, enflurane, methoxyflurane, trichloroethylene, and chloroform. The list of workers with potential for exposure toWAGs includes nurses ...
