    Sen. Lautenberg Calls for Review of OSHA's Record by James L Nash, Occupational Hazards
    U.S. Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-NJ, fired off a harshly critical letter to OSHA Administrator John Henshaw in which he called for a top-down review of the agency and promised legislation early next year to force OSHA to hold employers accountable when their employees are killed due to safety violations.

    OSHA is already beginning to feel the heat from a recent series of articles published in the New York Times (See 'NY Times Articles Show Lack of Criminal Prosecutions for Worst OSHA Regulations Violators.') that revealed how seldom the agency seeks criminal prosecution of employers when workers die because of 'willful' safety violations.
