-There was a remodel done a while back of the VP suite. Due to various complaints, there was a visit from OSHA that resulted in a $50K citation that FM had to pay. Since, there has been continuous work on the DO side to mitigate something like this from happening again. Now, there are going to be official guidelines around how office and department space should be used. Employees are encouraged to personalize their workspace using non-invasive and removable options. NO HOLES IN WALLS (Even in new buildings). Any physical modifications to office and dept space must be coordinated through operations and facility management.
