Senator Michael Enzi (R-WY) is expected to introduce a package of OSHA reform bills in a matter of days, according to the American Industrial Hygiene Association.
The first bill — the "Occupational Safety Partnership Act" — would create a third-party workplace review program. Employers would be allowed to hire qualified third-party occupational health and safety professionals to audit their facility; passing these evaluations would exempt employers from OSHA's routine inspection list for one year.
