I would bet that OSHA does not outline exactly what is required for compliance.
According to Eric Conn of Washington, D.C., head of the OSHA Practice Group at Epstein Becker & Green, a national labor and employment, and health care law firm.
Obamas administration changed the enforcement emphasis from the get-go, Conn says. He initially brought in a new Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis, who brought in a team that believes enforcement changes the way companies do business.
The agency seems to embrace a policy of shaming and embarrassing companies they find out of compliance, Conn says. When the agency issues press releases to notify the public about citations, Conn says hes never seen a public retraction if the citation is successfully challenged. Theyre using really ridiculous, scathing, unfair language like weve never seen before.
Once again, a bureaucratic agency making up stuff as they go along...pulling stuff out of their azz. Small businesses do not have the deep pockets to fight these scum.
That has been my personal experience. Its a job that requires a attention whore personality that needs to be honored.
