“It was very nerve-wracking. I started this business in my garage, worked 18-hour days for 14 years, and at the time had 12 employees working for me. They all depended on me.”
“It was probably worth it just to find out that we are fully compliant [with health and safety standards] but the way it was brought upon was scary. There are a million things that run through your head.”
“At the time I didn't know exactly what all the OSHA regulations were, but I knew my shop was safe and I knew I would never ask my guys to do anything I wasn't comfortable doing myself. I don't think I slept more than three or four hours in the days after I got that call. I was afraid they were going to shut me down.”
