Statement by OSHA Administrator John Henshaw on Appeal of OSHRC's Decision U.S. Newswire
'OSHA believes strongly that the Commission decision is wrong. OSHA issued 'instance-by-instance' citations in this case because of Ho's egregious conduct. Ho took absolutely no action to protect his workers, and failed even to tell them of their exposure to asbestos. When the state of Texas ordered Ho to stop work because he was also violating its requirements, Ho's only response was to perform the work at night, with the building locked, so he would not be discovered. The effort to avoid detection failed when a gas explosion seriously injured three workers. The explosion was caused by Ho's order to open a valve, even though he did not know what the valve controlled.------------------------------------------- posted 7:25 AM :: reference link ::
