You can look at it as utilizing the same power that prohibits employers from knowingly maintaining a workplace that contains dangers that are both mitigable and not intrinsic to the work being performed.<p>Or do you feel that OSHA &amp; co.&#x27;s power to -say- require a warehouse operator to ensure that its shelving will hold the loads that are to be placed upon it and <i>won&#x27;t</i> suddenly collapse and crush warehouse employees is an improper use of the power of coercion?<p>Edit: Upon further reflection, my last &#x27;graph might sound a little too pointed. I ask the question because I&#x27;ve known <i>many</i> people who object in the <i>strongest</i> terms that <i>everything</i> that OSHA does is unreasonable and an obvious overreach. I have no way of knowing if you hold this opinion (or a similar one), hence the question.
