ARA Says Don't Allow OSHA to Circumvent the Law
Misdirection may work well for magicians, but the
Agricultural Retailers Association
has not been distracted by the Occupational Health Safety Administration's latest antics. The organization is responding to OSHA's attempt to enforce rules on farm supply retailers before the rules have even been written. On May 6 the ARA sent a letter to Congress and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia to express their concern with this practice.
"Apparently, OSHA has come to the conclusion that rulemaking is necessary," said Daren Coppock, President and CEO of the Agricultural Retailers Association. "But the agency still clearly indicates it intends to commence enforcement of the PSM standard on agricultural retailers beginning October 1, 2016, even though, by its own admission in a letter to the D.C. Circuit Court, the rulemaking may take as long as five years."
