#bjaf-- 7#a7 #ehe1jjj incidents of

,whereas the ,occupational ,safety and  
,health ,administration 7referred to in 
this preamble as ,,osha71 the primary   
,federal agency that establishes and    
enforces workplace health and safety    
standards-- 7#a7 only has sufficient    
resources to inspect each establishment

every #aei years2 and  7#b7 must receive
 the resources necessary to adequately  
protect the health and safety of workers

blocked efforts by ,,osha to adopt many 
protections for workers1 including

infectious diseases1 violence in health 
care and social service settings1 and   
the risk of industrial catastrophes     
caused by chemicals1 explosive gases1 or
 combustible dusts2  7#b7 limited press 
releases from ,,osha on enforcement     
actions that can act as a deterrent     
against safety violations by employers2 
and  7#c7 removed the names of workers

issued by ,,osha1 despite the requests  
of family members of those workers to   
include the names of those workers to   
call attention to preventable           
workplace-related deaths2 and  ,whereas 
observing ,workers' ,memorial ,day--    
7#a7 allows the people of the ,united   
,states to honor and remember victims of
 workplace-related injuries and disease2
 and  7#b7 reminds the people of the    
,united ,states to strive for better    
safety and health protections for

the ,senate-- 7#a7 supports the goals   
and ideals of ,workers' ,memorial ,day  
to honor and remember workers who have  
been killed or injured in the workplace2
  7#b7 recognizes the importance of     
strengthening worker health and safety  
standards to secure the safe workplaces
