How About Some Concern About OSHA

Nearly six months into the new administration and we still have no word on who will be nominated as Assistant Secretary of Labor for OSHA. An early flurry of activity from the administration found dozens and dozens of nominations and confirmations. What about OSHA? I am beginning to believe this administration has decided to let OSHA linger without any permanent leadership for several more months. The name we kept hearing, David Michaels, has not been mentioned in weeks. Is there a problem? Who knows. What I do know is that those who believe the increased activity at the agency will result in completion of many delayed standards,rules, regualtions, etc. had better not get their hopes up.
