OSHA Still Operational During Federal Government Shutdown

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is operating as normal during the partial federal government shutdown, according to the agency’s local director.

Chad Greenwood, OSHA’s Madison office area director, shared the news during ABC of Wisconsin’s Safety Committee meeting on Jan. 16 at the Stevens Construction Yard Training Office in Cottage Grove. He said the Department of Labor, under which OSHA operations, is currently being funded by a spending bill Congress approved in September 2018.
