ASSE Lists Top Regulatory and Legislative Issues

February 09, 2010

The American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE) recently announced its legislative and regulatory agenda for 2010 aimed at ensuring that advances in occupational safety and health legislation and regulation reflect the experience, expertise and best practices of ASSE’s member safety, health and environmental (SH&E) professionals.

Here are some of the twelve critical issues listed by ASSE:

• Reflect ASSE Member Experience and Expertise in OSHA Reform.
• Provide OSHA Coverage for State and Municipal Employees.
• Support National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health’s (NIOSH) Effectiveness in Advancing Safety.
• Include SH&E in Trade Policy.
• Engage in Chemical Management Reform Efforts.

To see more issues and the details of ASSE’s agenda, please visit the Government/Professional Affairs tab of the ASSE web site.
