OSHA has 2200 employees. If you’ve been around construction you’ve probably witnessed how frequent osha violations are. Most people don’t even know hardly any of the regulations. I’d be shocked if even 1/4 of the construction industry was osha compliant half the time.
The best is seeing the guy on the jackhammer with his ppe hanging around his neck.
It’s like a cultural thing. Most guys in construction don’t seem to care at all. And osha has very little influence. Think of the number of workplaces, factories, and construction sites around the country compared to how many inspectors there are…
- paulryanrogers 3y agoOSHA can be expanded and careless cultures changed.
- malfist 3y agoSure, it can be. But one side was screaming about the IRS getting more auditors last year. I doubt they'll be any happier for OSHA
- Alupis 3y agoAnd if the other side wanted things to be "more safe" they would have done so via their iron grip on working unions around the country long ago...
- vkou 3y agoWhen it comes to voting, the dems are aligned with unions, but when it comes to policy, neither one of them is able to influence the other.
- ClumsyPilot 3y agoMost of the workforce is not in a union. Are you?

- Natsu 3y agoThey come in after someone reports a serious injury, normally. This seems like pretty boring, dumb factory stuff. Even if you have a safety auditor, he can't keep someone from removing PPE when it's too hot out or what have you.
- instaheat 3y agoI flip houses on the side. I can tell you, it's definitely a cultural thing. I've given my guys PPE, only to come back an hour later, respirator off, working with paint, insulation, you name it. They only put it on "when the boss is around" and sometimes not even then.
