• Description:
  The comprehensive Occupational Safety and Health Reform Act (H.R 3160) is a most important bill - timely and necessary. The major justification for passage of the bill is that in 1992occupational diseases continue to be all too common in the United States. In the 22 years since passage of the Occupational Safety and Health Act in 1970, progress has been made in the prevention of occupational disease. Some of the worst abuses have been curbed. Standards have replaced guidelines. Secrecy about work-related hazards is less common. An ineradicably high level of expectation about occupational health and safety has been created.
