"There areapproximately 1,850 inspectors responsible for the health and safety of 130 million workers, employed at more than 8 millionwork sitesaround the nation."

This translates to about one OSHA compliance officer in the United States for every 70,000 workers. Do you think government oversight is effective at keeping employees safeor,thepotential threat and the cost of litigationwhen an employee is hurt on the job does a better job of ensuring safety in the workplace?

What do you think?
