The truth is that government has a role in protecting worker safety. But no workplace could actually live up to every single OSHA regulation. Reform could very well strengthen OSHA s basic goal increasing workplace safety. It s the Americans with Disabilities Act, sexual harassment laws, campaign finance rules and on and on. Good ideas, and basically good laws, that may over-reach just a little.
Lawmakers like to make laws.
Regulators like to regulate. This is good. It should be. It might be a difficult principle to learn, but once it sinks in it is hard to forget. Just like riding a bike.
