Being a Safety Advisor (OSHA) is not popular. Bosses hate you because you cost them money. Workers hate you because you nag them about earplugs and safety glasses. Everybody hates you because you are forever chasing compliance — chasing company compliance with Acts and Regulations; chasing worker compliance with site rules and practices; chasing, chasing, chasing.

According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, four million workers go to work each day in damaging noise, leaving employees at high risk for hearing loss or damage.
