On the recordSeptember 12, 2017
I am very pleased to rise in support of Mr. Sablan's amendment which would improve enforcement of workplace safety standards in the territories. I would note that, adjusted for inflation, OSHA's enforcement budget has been cut by more than 20 percent since 2010, and OSHA's safety inspections declined by more than 20 percent during that time. It is a sad commentary that we are placing less value on an American worker's safety at the workplace than we did a decade ago. We should be supporting workplace safety in the territories, and we should be supporting workplace safety in the 50 States as well. Mr. Chairman, I urge my colleagues to support Mr. Sablan's amendment.
