We would like you to keep this subcommittee fully aware of any potential problems that you see out there.

I appreciate your response very much, Secretary Clinton.

We want to make sure that the considerable amount of money that we put out there is spent wisely, and that we earn the trust of America by doing it right.

I mean it just seems incongruous to me that families who have a fatally injured family member that they're burying gets less compensation than what we are fining the employer.

I'm particularly interested in how families are treated during an accident or an accident investigation.

It does seem to me that having more information would cause people to at least stop and think.

I agree with you that some changes are necessary to make the law and the agency more effective.

We're here today to talk about what more government can do to ensure that every worker who punches in for their next shift, returns home safe and healthy at the end of the day.

Their participation in this process will help hold bad actors accountable and help to spare other families the same pain they have experienced.

Unfortunately over the last several years OSHA has not lived up to its mission to make workers safer on the job.

We also have to ensure that when a worker is killed, injured or made sick on the job, those workers and their families are respected and honored throughout the process.
