Is OSHA The Best Source Of Safety Information

I ran across this congressional testimony by John Biechman Vice President for Government Affairs for the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). He points out that because of the time it takes for OSHA regulations and standards to be approved, at times they become effective long after the need is recognized. Mr. Biechman makes the case that standards published by organizations such as the NFPA have more up-to-date standards that reflect current safety needs.
