Increasing the fines and penalities will do little to improve worker safety. More inspecions and performance based standards will help some.

Criminal penalities, sending the top man in the company to jail for manslaughter will get the attention of company management. When it has been done at a local level, it has gotten the attention of every other contractor in that area.

As for the Honorable Senators and Congressman, where were they for the last many years, more than 8, watching the real dollars to OSHA/MSHA/NIOSH get cut? Stop playing election year politics with the lives of workers and step up to the plate with Congreesman Enzi. He has been trying for 10 plus years to change the way OSHA/MSHA/NIOSH work.
