OSHA boss Dr. David Michaels tried to ease the fears of Voluntary Protection Program supporters who complain his agency has forsaken VPP for other priorities in his speech at the annual meeting of the Voluntary Protection Program Participants Association (VPPPA) held Aug 25-28 in National Harbor, MD, near Washington DC.
Said one OSHA-watcher: “Every administration has its own policies and direction. This OSHA administration is focused on enforcement more than voluntary compliance.”
