The U.S. House of Representatives Tuesday passed four workplace safety reform bills aimed helping small businesses work with OSHA. The series of legislative initiatives, introduced by Rep. Charlie Norwood (R-GA) in February, received bipartisan approval.
“There is almost no limit to the regulatory burdens imposed on employers every year," said House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-IL) following the passage of the bills. "[Tuesday's] actions by the House improve worker safety and help enhance competitiveness for the small businesses that help create jobs here in America."
