    America To Congress: Get Involved in Workplace Safety! By Jordan Barab, Confined Space
    I can think of a few good questions for the next poll, if any of you have any friends or spouses who do polling. For example:

    1. What is a fair penalty for killing an employee in a workplace that they employer knew was hazardous?
    a) $70,000 (the current OSHA penalty for a 'willful' violation
    b) $1 million
    c) $1 million and a 10-year jail term
    d) $3,000 if they promise not to do it again.
