"What can you say, this is what you get when you cut funding of these agencies over a 20+ year time period."
Actually, this is mostly an issue with process. Covid shutdowns caused a huge backlog. Offshore manufacturing gets notifications of planned visits versus unannounced visits for onshore facilities. Sure, every org will say it can do more with a bigger budget. But more money for inspectors will do little to retain them when some of the biggest complaints are the travel requirements leading to reduced work-life balance.
- BadHumans 2y agoYou make it sound like you can't use money to hire more inspectors so the burden is reduced.
- giantg2 2y agoYou really think that will help? Even if you double staffed it, you're still looking at about 40% travel. People with lives and families don't want that. You could overstaff by 15% so attrition doesn't hurt as much, but there's a whole GAO report you could look up.
