Super Tuesday is finally here, sending voters in 24 states to the polls to cast their presidential primary ballots. There’s no doubt that safety and health stakeholders will tune in to learn the outcome, as many strongly feel that a new administration – especially a Democratic one – will impact the way OSHA operates.
