Danger on the Hill
(Politico) — The Capitol and other congressional buildings are rife with fire traps and other pervasive problems of age and dangerous design, with an estimated 6,300 safety hazards lurking on Capitol Hill this Congress. The figure comes from a new report by the Office of Compliance, which is responsible for protecting the congressional workplace. Its investigators found that a quarter of the 6,300 hazards are potentially fatal or could leave victims with serious injuries.
