All of what was said in the video sounds just like most political reponses to someone dying on the job that has been said for years about OSHA, there job is to protect workers on the job, not ignore safety violations of the very rich owners of construction sites. The fines are of insignificnat amounts that it makes them look like they are in the pockets of the construction companies. I hope someone from OSHA reads this.
