>there was a court decision (OSHA v. Westvaco?) that held that OSHA cannot require any documentation not specifically asked for by a reg.
So, while DOT and EPA regulations require safety training documentation (for specific hazmat related jobs), OSHA can't for general safety training? I've been working in compliance for 35 years and never picked up on that subtle point. I suppose OSHA's proposed regulations have a high paperwork reduction standard to cross...
Thanks for the explanation.
