OSHA Reverses Home Worker Advisory

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the forget-we-ever-said-anything dept.

Masloki sent it: an article on prodigy-news that says "Facing a barrage of criticism, Labor Secretary Alexis Herman today withdrew a federal interpretation letter saying that companies' normal workplace safety obligations also apply to employees who do their work at home." That's one OSHA regulatory attempt that certainly didn't last very long; we only got the word about the proposed regulation yesterday.

    Its not a coincidence that this retraction comes just hours after a large number of work at home Slashdot readers started filing for damages due to Linux "research" involving the latest Playboy issue.

    I don't think anyone really can know the lasting trauma of a poorly placed papercut till it happens to a sensitive area.
