Question

Do you think that OSHA is an intrusive force that an employer is forced to deal with, or is it a positive force that enables employees to ensure that they are working in a safe environment?

Answer 1

Employers consider them intrusive because they see people as expendable .
When one drops , there is another to take their place and they only use safety protocols if forced to .

It is positive for employees as they are the ones in the danger zones ( not the stockholders and CEOs ) .
No stockholders or suits are ever trapped in a mine underground .

Soooo ,
It depends where your loyalty lies . . .
If you think people are kleenex to be used and tossed , OSHA is intrusive .
If you are more people oriented , they are beneficial .

I am assuming you have never worked in the auto industry before. OSHA is incredibly important, the standards set forth by OSHA protect employees. A good example of this is a material safety data sheet. Trust me you would want to read one of these before using chemicals like sulfuric acid to clean a drain or operating large machinery such as die presses or injection molding equipment.
