Urge Your US Senators to Protect Worker Health & Safety By Opposing the Passage of H.J.Res.83
Posted over 8 years ago by Denise Souza
Important Message from AAOHN
Worker health and safety are inextricably linked to accurate workplace injury and illness data. Better records benefit both employees and employers by allowing each to become more aware of hazards, recognize patterns, and take corrective actions. In short, accurate records help protect workers, while less-complete records have the potential to put them at greater risk. This data – and by extension, worker health and safety – are being threatened by H.J.Res.83. In a misguided attempt to reduce perceived regulatory burden, this fast-moving legislation would use the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to permanently overturn OSHA’s final rule which clarifies that an employer is obligated to establish and maintain accurate records of work-related injuries and illnesses throughout a five-year record retention timeframe.
The time to act is now. - It is highly likely that the Senate will vote on H.J.Res.83 sometime Tuesday, March 14. As a result, AAOHN asks you to please send a letter to each of your US Senators urging them to vote against the passage of H.J.Res.83. A model letter is provided below; to increase the effectiveness of your messages, we ask that you personalize your letters.
