I absolutely hate when politics enter into safety, but it is an unfortunate fact that OSHA has to deal with on an on-going basis. However, like all politics these days, it is just getting ridiculous in what is being expected of OSHA from Congress, that group who can not seem to keep their own chambers in order, but seem to be “safety professionals” who can now manage risks! I am NOT a big government kind of guy, but as a safety professional with 20+ years of experience I can say without a doubt OSHA has helped more than they have hurt. Here is an inside look at what OSHA deals with when trying to develop action plans to address risks across many different industries.
