OSHA: Arizona is “operating outside its legal authority” on workplace safety
Responding to a complaint filed by the National Council for Occupational Safety and Health (National COSH), OSHA has determined that that the Industrial Commission of Arizona (ICA) is “operating outside its legal authority.”
T. Zachary Barnett, Phoenix area director for OSHA, says the ICA must cease its practice of “reclassifying” penalties for workplace violations suggested by the Arizona Department of Occupational Safety and Health (ADOSH).
