No, I don't ...
One company interaction with OSHA is not indicative of the whole agency...
I've dealt with OSHA for about 20 years...probably been though about 15-20 walk through inspections....
Most if not all inspectors were very helpful in pointing out potential minor safety infractions and regulations a manager could not possibly able to keep up with...
Sure some of their rules and fines are ridiculous, but if a company and a manager cares about the safety of their employees, building and workplace, they take their recommendations to heart.
As a manager I have never been fined by OSHA, even when the inspectors found a couple of violations that could have run into the 10,000 of dollars.
They gave me a time period to address them and do a re-visit, which we fixed...
The company pays the fine and they go right back to doing unsafe crap.
Well, OSHA isn't going to have a inspector there 24/7, at some point they will go out of business by being sued, fined or from employee turnover...
I know my life or safety isn't worth any job...
I won't work for a company that disregards the safety of their employees...
Nothing you’ve said changes anything I said. Sure OSHA points out infractions, and they give you a length of time to fix them, but they don’t care about people or accidents.
Case in point: major crane accident last yr. The fined them $29,000.00. Environmental problems, aka painting and sand blasting in an un-confined area, over $400,000.00 fine. Yes they gave them until January to correct the problems that caused the crane accident, which they have not done. OSHA has been there since then, and has done nothing. Now the company just got a grant to build a huge warehouse to paint the ships in, paid for by Mississippi taxpayers.
OSHA is a damn joke.
