Gold: Magnum Companies
Title of Entry: Papago Shade
Finish Type: Pre-finished with a random orbital pattern; post-finished to remove any weld discoloration
Total Labor Hours: 2055
Materials: Stainless steel canopy slats, passed through a laser-cut slot and welded in place inside the fabricated tube assemply; 1/2-inch steel plate columns clade in 304 stainless steel.
This impressive project consisted of two cantilevered shade structures for a new class A office building. The canopies were fabricated on a fixturing table with access for fabricators to get to the interior of the canopy, where they installed and welded the slats in place. Each canopy was 10'-9" x 25' long, and weighed in at 1,400 pounds.
The columns were installed by utilizing a field laser and alignment fixtures. The canopies were then lowered onto the corresponding columns' mating plates and welded in place. The mating surfaces between columns and the canopies was required to be within 1/8" due to very strict engineering requirements.
With zero margin for error, Magnum Companies delivered a flawless finished product that will be enjoyed for countless years to come.

1. Lower risk (caution)
2. Medium risk
3. High risk

OSHA asserts that most workers will be classified as one of the two lowest risk levels.
A PDF download with details on all four risk levels is available on OSHA's website.

Record numbers of employers and their employees are working remotely, and hackers are taking advantage of the unique situation. Cyberattacks are on the rise, and remote teams may unwittingly expose themselves to security risks by clicking on unsecure links or falling prey to fishing scams or attacks to streaming services.
Many threats are unfortunately disguised as helpful websites. Article links that claim to provide updates on the coronavirus are sometimes not what they seem, and businesses looking for small business loan support could stumble upon a cyberattack, rather than financial assistance.
