MCAA's Guide to Silica Safety incorporates provisions in OSHA's new Respirable Crystalline Silica Standard. The guide provides mechanical construction employers with the information they need to help their workers protect themselves from overexposure to respirable silica.

This in-depth analysis of Alternative Retirement Plan Designs was prepared for MCAA by actuaries Cary Franklin and Jonathan Feldman of Horizon Actuarial Services. It offers a general risk-factor analysis for plan trustees to consider in any more in-depth analysis of particular plan circumstances and plan design options. It focuses on six areas: 1) traditional defined benefit (DB) plans; 2) variable DB plans; 3) cash balance plans; 4) money purchase plans; 5) profit sharing plans; and, 6) proposed new composite plans (not yet enacted into law).
