If this is accurate & true then eliminating OSHA itself is disaster after disaster in the making!
Don't get me wrong - OSHA is very overkill in many ways - but without OSHA all healthwise regulations will be at risk of being dropped!
Hmmm,
🤔
Having worked for a while for OregonOSHA, I found in no way did it overstep its mandate, or enforce unwarranted regulation. I found them over all, willing to talk, train, and work with private companies. Especially small local businesses that did not have the capital to run a training program. Now if you fragrantly broke the rules knowingly, yes they would come down hard on your ass.
@corlin I was a volunteer fire fighter - and can tell you some of the regulations they had back in the day were serious overkill
and now as a warehouse worker, they uphold certain regulations but overlook others more often than not, and it's the things they overlook which are the problem...
Ok this I believe, in many states local OHSA is underfunded by a lot.
Here in Oregon it works well.
See how I got that job.
@corlin I've had to deal directly with OSHA when I was fire prevention officer in the fd back home - there were less regulations back in the day compared to today - we had to go thru special training for the hazmat squad - of which most of those regulations have been scrapped/replaced now...
@duglop
Yep.
Many dead and maimed workers.
Many many many.
