Question 21 (3 points)

Harry Hotair cynically begins preaching to you about how the workers compensation system and OSHA were established to “unfairly tax” small business owners, and that there was no historical need or justification for a government agency to regulate safety and health in work-environments. Harry Hotair states that historically, employees have always been treated fairly, until the government got involved … and now employers have to “spend time and money” on protecting employees from their own lack of common sense. In reflecting on this class, how would you respond to the statements made by Harry Hotair?

Question 22 (3 points)

Harry Hotair argues that employees are covered by workers compensation, which is the “same thing” as OSHA. Harry Hotair states that the workers compensation system already provides a system to properly compensate employees for the costs of their injuries, and a sufficient cost-deterrent and penalty-system for employers to keep their employees safe.

The Facilities Manager is wondering whether or not there are any OSHA Requirements, either Federal or State, that address the maintenance and upkeep of the building. Referencing any Federal OSHA or State OSHA requirements, identify any standards or regulations that might assist the Facilities Manager in his efforts.
