ASSE approves OSHA budget Request
The American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE) is pleased with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) budget request for fiscal year 2008 of $490.3 million and intends to support it in its efforts to achieve funding levels from Congress.
“OSHA budgets in recent years have not adequately kept up with inflation and this proposal is a positive effort to help OSHA meet its statutory obligations to protect workers,” ASSE President Donald S. Jones Sr., P.E., CSP, said today. “This budget proposal is a meaningful increase, especially for enforcement and cooperative programs, and is a positive effort to help OSHA meet its statutory obligations to protect workers.”
Adding to OSHA’s enforcement capabilities will result in needed increases in inspections and the staff to conduct them.
