Public health blog The Pump Handle has obtained an internal e-mail announcing that Jordan Barab, a former safety blogger and OSHA special assistant, will serve as deputy assistant secretary and acting assistant secretary of OSHA. Both positions are currently vacant.
A quick look through Mr. Barab's retired blog, Confined Spaces, shows that he is just the sort of person workers need at OSHA's helm. For five years Mr. Barab took a no-nonsense approach to safety issues big and small. His genuine concern for workers' safety was matched by his disgust and impatience with employers who ignored that safety.
I, and all the New York personal injury lawyers I work with, wish Mr. Barab the best of luck in his new post. He is now in a position to protect workers from the conditions he has found so frustrating. I am sure he will do his best.
