OSHA has gone the way of the corporate world, announcing a reorganization that bears the stamp of the Bush administration's desire for a more user-friendly, tightly controlled agency.
Sources say the moves are part of a broader Department of Labor effort to rein in agencies like OSHA that have "run their own ranches" in the past, according to one insider. "The bottom line is, the reorg is about greater oversight and the increased emphasis on outreach and education," says the source.
