Responding to a complaint filed by the National Council for Occupational Safety and Health (National COSH), the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration has determined that that the Industrial Commission of Arizona (ICA) is “operating outside its legal authority.”
T. Zachary Barnett, Phoenix area director for OSHA, has recommended that the ICA “must cease” its practice of “reclassifying” penalties for workplace violations suggested by the Arizona Department of Occupational Safety and Health (ADOSH).
