OSHA Enforcement Hurts Independent Retailers in May
The Labor Department’s OSHA push hit independent retailers hardest in May with higher inspection rates and steep fines. NFIB data show 41 percent of inspected independents violated rules and 30 percent were assessed, markedly up from the first quarter. Costs for retailers averaged 6436 dollars, well above wholesalers and manufacturers, while transport and construction faced even higher sums. Some business leaders warn of hidden profit motives behind safety standards and call for exemptions or court action to curb perceived overreach.
