Business and Labor Voice Dissatisfaction With OSHA Ergonomics Today
In a nutshell, said non-profit group OMB Watch, during the past three and half years, OSHA has forged 231 long-term alliances, 214 active partnerships, and 1,153 voluntary protection program sites. But as for actually regulating, said the group, OSHA has done little other than withdraw some rules that were in development and wipe its slate clean.
That, said OMB Watch along with labor groups including the AFL-CIO, means that OSHA isn’t actively participating in a key part of the agency’s mission – enforcement. But OSHA’s Administrator John Henshaw countered that the current administration’s more voluntary approach has resulted in a drop in workplace fatalities, injuries and illnesses.------------------------------------------- posted 6:33 AM :: reference link ::
