OSHA's primary purpose is not punitive. It is to ensure that organizations create and follow safety procedures. OSHA is not a silver bullet. Nothing is. Sometimes things just suck. I cannot assuage your concerns.
- csours 4y agoToo late to edit this, sorry. > "Sometimes things just suck" I don't want this to sound like normalizing a safety deficit. It's not OK. But the incident happened and that sucks. OSHA can't immediately fix things and that sucks. Punitive damages don't immediately fix things and that sucks; they add some motivation, but they don't directly fix anything.
