OSHA will find itself paying the attorneys fees of repeated safety violators whose penalties were reduced on a technicality. The reallife example of an employer by the name of Eric Ho in Houston illustrates the problem here. Eric Ho hired undocumented workers and exposed them to high levels of asbestos. and this represents the kind of case that could not be tolerated by OSHA. Even after a city worker issued a stopwork order. Eric Ho secretly had the workers stay on the job.
