This week marked the opening of a critical, alarming round of deregulatory hearings aimed at dismantling core health and safety protections for working people.
OSHA has proposed a series of deregulatory changes affecting things like respirators, toxic chemicals, asbestos, lead, construction illumination, COVID-19 protections in healthcare, and fall protection on fixed ladders. If you work in these industries, this could affect you! We’re tuned in closely watching these crucial rulemaking hearings and strategizing how to best stand up for workers against these attempts to delegitimize their rights to important safety protections. The next hearings will be taking place on August 24, August 25, and August 26! You can tune in live at 9:30AM (ET) on any of these listed dates at www.osha.gov/deregulatory-rulemakingSee it on Instagram ↗
