Four bills introduced Thursday by Rep. Charlie Norwood (R-Ga.) would improve the enforcement of OSHA rules and regulations among small business owners, according to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB).
“The vast majority of NAHB’s members own small businesses and often find themselves unequipped to negotiate OSHA’s reams of regulations and requirements. This legislative package will help to reduce some of the regulatory burdens faced by our members when they try to work within OSHA’s complicated system of due process, and will provide OSHA with greater flexibility to respond to small businesses without sacrificing workplace safety,†said NAHB President David Wilson.
