Here to share the science of industrial hygiene (aka occupational hygiene in some countries) & why it matters. 100% pro-regulation, pro-union, pro-worker rights, pro-science, pro-diversity.
Also, a Star Trek nerd.

Our current crisis with H5N1 avian influenza is a creation of modern poultry production systems and factory farming. “If we wanted to design how to make great virulence, this would be how.” 🧪

For those that think OSHA is too powerful- read this. Worker safety rights are weak. Workers can’t sue their employer when killed or injured, OSHA can’t shut down the most dangerous workplaces, and companies can appeal forever.

It was the deadliest workplace in America. So why didn’t safety regulators shut it down?
OSHA issued over 180 citations and millions in fines to this Alabama sawmill, the deadliest workplace in America, but it kept operating.

Blue collar workers need to wake up and realize who their enemy is. It ain’t OSHA, Folks.

OSHA has repeatedly fined Elon Musk’s companies for serious safety violations. Granting him and his associates access to the agency’s files is an obvious conflict of interest, and would likely discourage workers from filing future complaints.
What Will DOGE’s Moves on Government Agencies Mean for OSHA?
Unions took to the streets—and the courts—to try to keep Elon Musk’s initiative out of the Labor Department.

I love to joke about OSHA (and NIOSH) but every single OSHA regulation was written with someone’s blood
1. OSHA has ordered the digital and physical destruction of 18 publications on workplace safety practices, according to an email obtained by Popular Information.
The email says the publications have been removed from the web and tells staff that physical copies should be "disposed of or recycled"

we have a whole department on campus, known colloquially as Safety, that trains people for industrial hygiene and occupational safety jobs and I really wonder what OSHA elimination would do to them
I mean this "I divorce you. I divorce you. I divorce you." tactic can't be legal, can it?

What this bill would mean is the complete elimination of federal workplace safety protections. Millions of jobs in numerous states where the state-level protections are below the federal minimums would immediately become more dangerous.

Outside of the fields of environmental health or occupational safety, not many have heard of industrial (or occupational) hygiene (IH). In the US it's called IH, in the UK, Australia, and elsewhere, OH (except in the US, OH also is the abbreviation for Occupational Health--a field of medicine).
