OSHA, the one thing I truly hold against Tricky Dicky OSHA is a lot like USDA FSIS inspection. With the USDA the regulations are written vague enough that the inspector can shut you down about any day they don't feel like working and even if they're wrong there is no recourse (so much for due process protections guaranteed in the constitution) OSHA has extremely complex and detailed rules and regulations but then throws in some "general duty" clauses that means they can write you up for about anything they don't like, support the wrong political candidate? they can fine you! Manufacture a legal product or service they feel is wrong they can fine you. The rules are so complex they can pretty much walk in and fine you anytime they want, even if something happened solely because of you following their stupid law. In either case you're at the mercy of some power hungry bureaucrat. The other thing that sucks is you can tell the employee to follow the rules, you can document training him on the rulesand the job and supply the PPE and if the employee doesn't follow the rules you can be fined. If he won't follow the rules and you fire him in many states you'll have to pay unemployment so either way you pay.
I'd be much happier if when OSHA comes in and finds noncompliance but the employer can prove they trained the employee and provided the proper PPE and tools and the non-compliance is solely because the employee refused to act in the appropriate manner then the employee should pay the fine. If they get fined for the same thing again they should pay the kicker on the fine too. Of course that'll never happen because to many potential dumbacrat voters would have to pay fines, heck they might decide to go back to Mexico.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
