Episode 203: Staying Safe with OSHA

Getting injured at work is something that we all want to avoid. But how? Believe it or not, that is why OSHA exists: to help American workers stay safe while on the job. This episode features Amanda Wood Laihow, who was the Acting Secretary of OSHA through October and is currently the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health. We discuss the various programs that OSHA employs, recent modifications to their penalties, their education component, and their overall goal of sending people home safely at the end of the workday.
