Farcical Workplace Safety Rules and Regulations Hurting American Business


Have you ever read through the OSHA workplace safety rules? They are completely out of control and often nearly impossible to follow and still keep your work flow flowing. We are making our businesses inefficient and we are sending away jobs, as manufacturing businesses try to find ways to compete and actually get the processes flowing again.

Not a lot of people realize this but if you stack all the OSHA Laws on top of one another, they end up some 47 stories high? And if you are a lawyer specializing in OSHA Law it all comes conveniently on "Five CD ROMS" so your paralegal can find stuff for you, because there is no way in hell you could ever remember it all. Can you begin to see why American Business is fed up with these rules and how they are killing commerce, jobs and productivity?

Now you might say that these laws are necessary to protect workers? Well, some might be, but nearly all of them are common sense, so what is really needed is a set of "Common Sense" clauses that say Companies should use common sense and best management practices when possible and warn workers of danger that is not readily apparent. Meanwhile obvious dangers like "don't drive the figgin fork lift off the loading dock," ought to be common sense. See that point.

Why are all these laws so insane? Well, it is just runaway over regulation, as once you make one law you almost fall over yourself to make another and then shore up the ones you made with new definitions and scenarios for all the potential various industries. Lawsuits ensue and more rules are made to tighten the ones you already made. And folks this has been going on since the Industrial Revolution and it has to stop otherwise the wheels of commerce are going to fall off this wagon and no one will have a job. Please consider this.
