Above is a link to the US chemical safety board, they investigate the worst chemical related incidents across the nation. In the chemical industry it is understood that these facilities are bombs. Bombs containing bio-weapons. OSHA is the only thing standing between lit fuses ready to kill hundreds and poison thousands.
Anyone going after OSHA is a straight pycho.
Edit: It should be noted, that despite their mandate, right now, they are barely a speed bump on the road to complete systems failures in facilities across the nation. Earlier this year a plant making food coloring in Kentucky, somthing that goes unregulated by PSM, exploded in a residential area. Killing workers and traumatizing the community. If anything OSHA needs bolstering not abandonment.
The private sector will not do this work. After watching companies ignore saftey concerns year after year, ultimately leading to disaster, it is now recommended a safety specialist be on the board of all PSM regulated companies.

It kills me that the CSB has little (no?) authority to enforce their findings. All they can do is make recommendations.
They work hand and hand with OSHA but no, on their own, they have no power is my understanding.
