OSHA does not have nearly enough inspectors for the approximately 132 million workers nationwide.

I think it's fair for both employers and for employees to have administrative reviews.

Unfortunately, that seems to be the case, and that's, I guess, the reason we're here this morning.

Too many people each year mark this day by remembering loved ones lost in a workplace tragedy.

We know that within the existing statute or within the existing resources that you have, you might be able to make more changes, and we look forward to working with you on that.

What would you hope would happen with regard to the law? If you could make a list or even itemize one or two changes, what would you hope would happen?

Every working American should be able to leave their home every day confident that their workplace is safe.

we hope that we can come together on a bipartisan piece of legislation to make these changes.

In my opinion, the process we have embraced with this WRRDA bill reflects what we have been set here to do: to legislate cooperatively, and collectively do what is right for the country.

We hope to have to you in short order.
