In 1987, the US National Institutes of Health reviewed existing worldwide data on the prevalence of antibiotic resistance (51). They concluded that resistance to antibiotics was not solely a function of usage, but might result from the inevitable process of bacterial evolution. Other phenomena, including increased human resistance to antibiotics never used in animals and the prevalence of antibiotic resistance in developing countries where use of animal antibiotics is uncommon, led the experts to support that human antibiotic resistance should primarily be due to a variety of factors other than animal antibiotics.

Routine inspections and housekeeping are valuable and important but may not detect major hazards. The independent search out of hazards by safety and health reviews is vital. 

As a result, the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission was created to review the enforcement actions taken by OSHA. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) was set up to research work place safety and health and to recommend standards to OSHA for controlling exposure to harmful and toxic substances. 

The Act regulates workplace safety at the Federal level. Responsibilities under the Act are distributed between the Department of Labor and the Department of Health and Human Services. The National Advisory Committee on Occupational Safety and Health was created to coca dinate activities between the 2 departments. The 12 members of this committee represent employees, employers, the public, and health and safety professionals. A 3-member Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission, comprised of presidential appointees, is empowered to settle disputes arising from enforcement of the Act. 

If, following the issuance of a citation and any protective orders, the chemical manufacturer, importer, or employer continues to withhold the information, the matter is referrable to the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission for enforcement of the citation. In accordance with Commission rules, the Administrative Law Judge may review the citation and supporting documentation in camera or issue appropriate protective orders.

The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSHAct) remains the primary federal vehicle for ensuring workplace safety and health in the United States. This law requires that employers provide a place of employment free from recognized hazards to employee safety or health. The critical word is recognized because today s workplaces have many new materials and processes for which hazard knowledge is absent. This places a large responsibility on the employer to keep abreast of new knowledge and information about workplace hazards for their operations. The OSHAct established three agencies to deal with workplace safety and health. These were the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), and the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.

Whether or not the employer accepts OSHA s actions, the employee (or representative) has the right to contest the time OSHA allows for correcting a hazard. This contest must be tiled in writing with the OSHA area director within 15 working days after the citation is issued. The contest will be decided by the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission. The Review Commission is an independent agency and is not a part of the Department of Labor. 

Associated with each citation is a proposed penalty. If the employer chooses to contest the alleged violations or proposed penalties, they first discuss it with the agency at a conference. If that does not lead to a solution, the case can be presented to an independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission (OSHRC).
