It is there responsibility also to make sure things are identified properly. The employees have training regarding electrical quidelines and procedures so why weren't they making sure things were done right. We need to work together because just wanting to get the organization hammered will only be a detriment to all employees.

Even thoygh no one ws hurt it doesn't mean no one would ever get hurt. That's all we need at USPS is for a worker to get killed because of this. I think OSHA did the right thing and if it was about money just think what the fine would be in a wrongful death litigation. That's what this lawyer wants he wants someone to get killed at USPS so he can represent their family and get a huge payday. It’s better to be safe than sorry.

The "safe" pratices that OSHA requires actually expose employees to MORE danger,i.e live circuits. This from the same people (the federal government) who refuse to return $75 billion in ill gotten gains and continue to fine us $5 billion a year for "retirement" benefits. It ain't about safety, it's all about the MONEY!!! Fine us $250k a pop for practices that have resulted in exactly ZERO injuries.

Worker health and safety have always taken a back seat to Bureaucratic Speak (B.S.) at the U.S.P.S. I know this because 'Safety Depends on Me!' “As a result, the industry attorney said he thinks the DOL action is problematic, from a legal perspective…”
