Understanding OSHA: A look at the agency's complex legal & political enviornment
2001
Overview
The OSHA Act forced OSHA down a difficult path. The agency was forced to adopt in-place standards in the beginning and is required to use notice-and-comment rulemaking to create new standards. Many critics would contend that OSHA attempts to dodge these requirements through the use of informal guidance documents - and one could cite enough examples to make that a debatable proposition. Regardless of how this debate is resolved, the fact remains that OSHA's actions are often the result of the peculiar context in which the agency operates. Safety practitioners who understand this context are better able to understand how and why OSHA makes the decisions that shape the safety profession.
