REGULATION: GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION
Occupational Safety and Health Administration

---

The 113th Congress should:

shut down the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) or, failing that, at least:

• reduce OSHA’s enforcement budget,
• bar OSHA ergonomics regulations, and
• repeal OSHA’s so-called general duty clause that allows inspectors to enforce regulations that are not published or are poorly understood by enterprises.
