The recently released AIHA white paper addresses OSHA’s current approach and opportunities for improved effectiveness in key areas enumerated in the agency’s strategic plan and the 2011–2016 Strategic Plan of the Department of Labor (DOL). While AIHA believes in the mission of OSHA as originally envisioned, it recognizes the need for adaptations built upon OSHA’s history of successful programs and processes. The “Perspective on the Role of OSHA in Advancing Occupational Safety and Health for the Nation” provides AIHA’s position on the future roles and responsibilities of OSHA as well as policy recommendations designed to meet those challenges.
