I found a job at OSHA and I'm considering applying. Does anyone have any experience with OSHA?

Answer 1

Okay, since Corky seems to have lost touch with reality. He is the type of person in most of our jobs that is resistant to change. Since you been doing it this way all along it must be right? The Occupational Safety and Health Act is there to protect us when we are in the workplace. If your employer was cited, then there was a potential hazard to your safety and your co-workers. I get calls all the time about working conditions, but never one that was mad at OSHA it's normally the other way around. So, I wonder would it be justified for OSHA to come in if the problem was let go and someone lost a hand on a press machine or was even killed while on the job?

You know, they are kind of like the health commission that has to go in restaurants to make sure your food is prepared in a clean and safe environment. Or, maybe they should get rid of them too, because it's a little too uncomfortable for employers?

Anyway, to apply for most of the federal jobs there is a minimal qualification for experience (normally entry-level) or you can substitute education if you have any college coursework. Make sure to follow directions for the posting under the How to Apply tab. Sometimes, they may also require an occupational questionnaire and supporting documentation. Best of Luck!

Yes, they are a worthless bunch of bureaucrats that came out of the "feel good" laws passed in the early seventies. They showed up at our employers and sited them for a hand file that had a pointed tip. Any idiot knows that the file is designed that way so as to be able to switch handles. Employers know that safe working and healthy conditions lower their insurance..they sure don't need a government henchman to tell them that!! Get a real job!!
