House OSHA Hearing

On Wednesday, the House Education and the Workforce Committee’s Subcommittee on Workforce Protections held a hearing on OSHA’s regulatory "overreach and skewed priorities.” Per Subcommittee Chair Kiley (R-CA), “it is critical that OSHA acknowledge and implement feedback from the employers and job creators who are affected by its top-down mandates to ensure its policies are practicable in the field. We must ensure that any new regulations do not overburden the regulated community with prescriptive mandates…”  The hearing attempted to allow the Committee to hold OSHA accountable to ensure the agency is fulfilling its duty without harming job creators and workers. One example highlighted in the hearing was OSHA’s worker walkaround final rule, which several business groups have challenged in Court.
