I just wonder exactly what the specific standards to which gun ranges must be held to prove compliance. The result is that entire process is completely subjective, and perhaps inappropriately influenced by factors such as the mood of the inspector.

I would bet that OSHA does not outline exactly what is required for compliance.

Companies have the right to require OSHA to get a warrant before allowing a safety and health inspection.

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.

Obama’s 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 he’s never seen a public retraction if the citation is successfully challenged. “They’re using really ridiculous, scathing, unfair language like we’ve 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.
