TUSCON, ARIZ. – National and state-level safety experts are stressing workers must be a top priority as the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration reviews Arizona’s compliance with federal safety laws.
“Every day we see workers at risk from extreme heat, from COVID, from exposure to toxic chemicals and other hazards. Besides way too many workers dying from preventable safety workplace hazards, COVID has shown us how health hazards can kill and disable workers on the job. ADOSH has performed very poorly in responding to these cries for help from workers. We need to focus on how to reduce risk and make sure everyone goes home safely.
“Revoking a state plan would be an unprecedented action by OSHA. It makes sense for OSHA to take the time to review all the evidence and get this right, because having Arizona DOSH underperform lowers the bar for the rest of the country – and all workers are paying the price,” NationalCOSH safety and health senior co-ordinator Peter Dooley said.in 2016 concenring ICA’s practice of reducing fines to employers without any due process for workers, unions or labor organizations.
