WARON «AG" BUILDINGS
are 17 feet high
WASHINGTON, DC - Since it was created, the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has been one of the
most controversial agencies in the federal government OSHA's
purpose - to promote safety in the work place - is a worthy one,
however, the agency's numerous and suffocating regulations
have caused serious problems for businessmen, farmers and
workers
A leading newspaper recently pointed out that there are now
approximately 4,400 OSHA regulations covering 800 pages in
the Code of Federal Regulations. One imaginative individual put
all the OSHA regulations on a stack and discovered it was 17
feet high. Businesses, particularly small businesses, simply
cannot keep up with the rules pouring out of Washington.
While the sheer number of regulations boggles the mind, the
wording and purpose of some of OSHA’s regulations “adds
insult to injury." One set of rulings takes pages and pages of
equations to define “ladder” and "exit.”
Perhaps the most ridiculous recent example of OSHA’s work
is a pamphlet called "Safety With Beef Cattle." This pamphlet
contains such statements as “Hazards are the mam cause of
accidents." Other warnings for farmers include “You can get cut
by bolts or nails that stick out,” and “When floors are wet with
manure, you could have a bad fall ” The section on ladders
sounds like a first grade reader - “Ladders the* are not strong or
have broken steps can cause a bad fall. If you' is broken, do not
climb it.”
Published reports indicated that it cost SHA $466,700 to
prepare these pamphlets which involve rthmg more than
common sense for most farmers. I senoi ly doubt that the
people who wrote these guidelines have ev been near a farm.
OSHA’s rules and regulations can a j do affect every
business and farm that has hired help. We need OSHA and its
commitment to ensure safety for American workers. Un
fortunately, the way OSHA has been administered has resulted
in actions that are 180 pages opposite the original intent of a
majority of members of Congress.
This is one more example of too much federal government -
not necessarily by law - but, rather by bureaucratic regulation.
