OSHA has jurisdiction over approximately 7 million worksites. The agency seeks to focus its inspection resources on the most hazardous workplaces in the following order of priority: 1. Imminent danger situations • Hazards that could cause death or serious physical harm receive top priority. Compliance officers will ask employers to correct these hazards immediately or remove endangered employees. 2. Severe injuries and illnesses - employers must report: • All work-related fatalities within 8 hours. • All work-related inpatient hospitalizations, amputations, or losses of an eye within 24 hours. 3. Worker Complaints • Allegations of hazards or violations also receive a high priority. Employees may request anonymity when they file complaints. 4. Referrals of hazards from other federal, state or local agencies, individuals, organizations or the media receive consideration for inspection. 5. Targeted inspections • Inspections aimed at specific high-hazard industries or individual workplaces that have experienced high rates of injuries and illnesses also receive priority. 6. Follow-up Inspections • Checks for abatement of violations cited during previous inspections are also conducted by the agency in certain circumstances.

U-Haul Moving & Storage of West Meridian is ready to meet your storage needs. Petra built this project from the ground up, starting with Petra Concrete, which poured approximately 2,650 cubic yards of concrete on-site, including the foundation for the four-level, climate-controlled storage facility. Conveniently located off West Franklin Road, just minutes from I-84, the central Meridian U-Haul features a modern showroom with custom-stained concrete floors, ample product display space, and a clerk counter designed to assist up to three guests simultaneously. U-Haul’s sleek, contemporary design showcases visually striking materials, including wood-tone panels, thin faux brick, and horizontal ribbed metal siding. At night, 36 Starphire Ultra-Clear glass windows illuminate the storage units, creating an eye-catching display for passersby. Two metal canopies provide protection from the elements, and a repair bay offers services such as custom trailer hitch installations. Three brown drive-in garage doors offer easy access to the 1,125 storage units via an elevator and three stairwells. Petra is proud to support U-Haul’s growth across the Treasure Valley and the Western United States, continuing our trusted partnership as a repeat builder.
