Washington – Two house democrats have great concerns about the removal of information from Osha from their website and the reported destruction of physical copies of agency documents.
In one at the incumbent working secretary Vince Micone, Bobby Scott (D-VA), Ranges member of the House Education and Workforce Committee, and Ilhan Omar (D-MN), ranking member of the House Workforce Protections on February 13, on 13. February, the representatives of the House of Representatives subcommittee, write that you compared the current website of the Labor Department of Labor with archived versions. They say that documents have been removed and “the only common thread seems to be that they use words like” diverse “,” diversity “and” gender “.”
For your examples of missing information:
- Ergonomics guidelines that advise employers that gender and age and service duration can be a factor in order to receive the risk of an employee for injuries to the musculoskeletal system.
- Guidelines for emergency services that treat and transport victims of toxic emergencies, which are reluctant to “use numerous and diverse local programs” on “different conditions under which the EMS Responder” have to be “.
- Instructions for violence at work that describes the creative approaches of a health facility to form the efforts of the managers, “a diverse group of coaches – nurses on the bed, team leader, nursing supervisory authorities, personnel staff, personnel in the intensive care unit, medical/surgical staff and security staff – Employees with the aim of providing mentors, trainers and “champions” throughout the hospital. “
Scott and Omar add: “When these documents are deleted 'GEnder ideology''
And 'DIVersity, Justice and inclusion,''
DOL seems to implement the orders as if there is a list of prohibited words without the context in which words are used. “
You ask about the following information until February 28:
- A diagram of all documents drawn on the DOL websites, including the title, the original URL of the document and a detailed explanation of the reason for deleting the website.
- All documents and communications from January 21 and February 13 regarding the implementation of executive regulations 14151 and 14168, review of documents for keywords, removal of documents from the DOL distribution of documents.
“Osha's employees should concentrate on making jobs more secure and, for arbitrary reasons, not deleting valuable information,” the legislators write. “If you destroy documents, we demand that you no longer do this and retreat to the mission of DOL, to protect the life and livelihood of the workers.”
