Safety in the Workplace

Listen Tuesday, May. 15, 2007 at 1:06 p.m. in Economy, Health, Politics, Society

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) was created more than thirty years ago to make the American workplace more safe. And officials there say that deaths and injuries on the job have declined on their watch. But critics say OSHA has dropped the ball when it comes to safety regulations for everything from oil refineries to popcorn plants. Join Kojo for a look at OSHA and workplace safety.
