Recently, someone who is engaged in the DC political scene for safety told me that the failure of the current administration’s OSHA to issue an injury and illness prevention plan standard (or I2P2) was an historic lost opportunity for OSH professionals and ASSE members.
“Even the worst-written I2P2 standard would have been the best thing for safety, bringing what the best employers do to every employer in America,” he said. “And, think about it. Who would have written those I2P2s? People in DC have called it the ‘safety professional full employment’ standard.”
