Contested cases get a fair strike

Article Abstract:

The Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission (OSHRC) was created to serve as an adjucatory body for constested Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) cases. It follows two levels of adjucation. The corps of administrative law judges (ALJs) is responsible for conducting hearings and deciding on OSHA cases. The panel of commissioners, on the other hand, review and decide on JLA decisions appealed by employers, employee representatives or the Labor Secretary. In its pursuit of protecting all parties' rights and interests, the OSHRC has always maintained that its adjucation of cases should be done fairly and expeditiously.
