Too much or too little?
OSHA is an agency within the federal government of the United States that is charged with the responsibility of ensuring occupational safety and health administration for all businesses across the country. The agency was established by Congress in 1970 to improve the working environments and conditions for workers across the country. I believe that the OSHA-related records are overly burdensome and have the potential to hurt small businesses. There are several reasons that make these records to be burdensome. One of the major reasons is due to the limited resources that are at the disposal of small businesses. Unlike corporations and multinational companies, small businesses run on a tight budget that can barely sustain the operations of the business. Most of the OSHA-related records and requirements are expensive to implement across the organization.
