I have no doubt that OSHA has saved thousands of lives, and hundreds of thousands of injuries. Most old timers like me realize this and appreciate the positive impact that OSHA has had on the American workplace over the last 40 years.
Without OSHA, we’d still be back in the dark ages of safety. Thank God for OSHA and their dedicated employees (past and present)!
