Can you imagine a workplace where safety is everyone's responsibility, from top to bottom? The California Applicants' Attorneys Association has some ideas on this worth considering. What if employees had the power to hold employers accountable for unsafe conditions beyond whistle blowing to an understaffed CalOSHA? Employers can discipline unsafe workers, so why not? If union shop stewards were empowered to enforce safety laws and issue citations, it could revolutionize workplace safety for 2.2 million unionized workers. What do you think?

Here is an article I penned about the movement (albeit slight) in OSHA's efforts to establish a heat illness and injury prevention standard.
