So I agree with Pam Guffain's statement there and I have been thinking that IST enforcement could possibly have a better fit under OSHA. Largely, US companies are familiar with OSHA regulations and if OSHA regulated a process as it pertains to safety it would be better for both companies and employees. OSHA should have enough of a big stick to enforce IST. Enforcement overlaps are already occurring with CFATS and other agencies. But I'll save that for a future comment. I'd also like to suggest Mr. Wegmeyer to look at the CFATS process and take note that it is largely an electronic process. I am unsure how they think it ads too much paperwork for a company to handle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
