"A third-party audit program and providing more useful information in OSHA closing conferences are ideas that can complement and strengthen OSHA's enforcement role, which our members strongly support," said American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE) member Jon Turnipseed, CSP, addressing a House subcommittee hearing on worker safety.
"Enforcement is never enough," said Turnipseed, safety program manager for the San Bernardino, Calif., Municipal Water Department. "The challenge ASSE members face in today's workplace is to help employers move beyond compliance toward establishing proactive workplace safety and health measures."
