OSHA reform seeks to relieve employers from burdensome rules

House Subcommittee on Workforce Protection Chmn. Cass Ballenger has introduced the Safety and Health Improvement and Regulatory Reform Act of 1995, H.R. 1834. The bill is aimed at updating the 25-year-old Occupational Safety and Health Act. Ballenger explains that the bill is intended to limit regulatory abuses by government, not to reduce worker protection. H.R 1834 is already being supported by several industrial sectors.
