On the recordSeptember 8, 1997
there is a big misconception among many people on that side of the aisle that more spending means less deaths. I want to say in 1994 the number of work-related deaths was 6,632. That number dropped in 1996 to 6,112 and that was with very, very limited increases on the budget for OSHA, in fact so limited that you routinely call it a cut. Let us be honest with ourselves. There is not a proven relationship in spending more money on OSHA bureaucrats and saving workers.
