After Worker Is Buried Alive in Sugar, Senator Pushes OSHA for Temp Safety
U.S. Sen. Bob Casey is pressing OSHA for better protection of temporary workers, after the tragic death of a 50-year-old temporary employee in a CSC Sugar plant near Philadelphia.
Casey, a Pennsylvania Democrat, fired off a letter to OSHA Administrator Dr. David Michaels expressing “deep concern about employment and workplace safety practices involving temporary workers.” Casey also expresses concern “about possible regulatory or legislative impediments to OSHA’s ability to ensure safe and healthful workplaces for temporary workers.”
