To all OSHA or DOL staff. If you know what’s going on at DOL or OSHA with Trump, Elon, etc, and want to get the word out confidentially, contact me on Signal or WhatsApp. (They’re encrypted. Signal even has disappearing messages.)
Don’t freak out. You have a lot of support out there. And we’re trying to build on that.
I am retired OSHA consultation and just talked with a friend at work. They haven’t been told anything yet
What can I do to help with support.
Go fuck yourselves
I support OSHA and its employees.
Don’t forget MSHA … there are some sharp knives out for that agency too.
I support OSHA and employees. Let us know how we can support them.
I am retired from a very unique position: 29CFR 1915 is OSHA’s law about how employers must protect their worker employees in the dangerous industry of ship repair. They must arrange for inspections and certifications of workplace safety by a Certified Marine Chemist. 2 things: First, in Washington State the maritime sector of the economy is bigger than (Boeing, etc.) aerospace. Second; There are only 3 marine chemist companies in Washington; they are busy. Central to the maritime industry Only some 40 such companies in the United States. Now: in my 48 years as a Marine Chemist I certified on signed paper certificates more than 28,000 consecutive marine vessel workspaces without incident or injury because I knew my business and because I was backed by the force of OSHA law. Now, word (Feb 3) from our OSHA supervisors in DC that they have been ordered not to communicate with industry. Mr. Musk says OSHA is “regulatory over-reach.” Workers will die without the OSHA law mandating standard safe practices.
This is the latest news on OSHA.
