Excessive Regulations? To the Editor: Your article “OSHA Reform — Burden for Small Builders” (Eight-Penny News, 1/94) points out two things: 1. OSHA and EPA regulations are excessive — for example, rules requiring all windows and doors to be open in a house for installation of new carpet. Can you imagine doing this on a day with –15°F temperature and a 30 mph wind? Or on a spring day with rain and wind? Or are we supposed to work only when weather conditions are dependable? This brings me to the second point: 2. The need to know. How does one keep up with the changes in OSHA regulations? This is more than most small builders have time to do.
