The Monkey Cage

摘要

ASSE is not a political organization. We are not partisan. We do not support candidates. We do not support parties. We do not have a political action committee to pass checks in white envelopes to candidates over dinner at a restaurant. What ASSE fairly simply does is try to make sure that elected officials and the administrators they appoint to run agencies such as OSHA, MSHA and NIOSH make decisions that make sense. Those decisions affect our members' work and their ability to pursue a livelihood. So ASSE, through comments, personal meetings and ongoing relationships, both formal and informal, with those decision-makers, tries to help make sure the impact on SH&E practice reflects the experience and training of our members and the best they know about the science of occupational safety, health and the environment.
