From: chemcon**At_Symbol_Here**juno.com Date: November 9, 2005 3:10:50 PM EST Subject: Re: Need Your Opinion on Safety Issues Rob, You are correct of course in that a plaintiff's attorney would exercise the legal theory that you have propounded in any court case involving a jury hearing the evidence in your hypothetical (which, incidetally, is not all that hypothetical--it has happened). However, you err when you suggest that Congress should have included students as well as employees under the protective hand of OSHA. There are several very good reasons why Congress excluded non-employees from OSHA protection. For the details, see the Congressional Record -- it's on the Internet. Jay Young
