    Does this actually fall under OSHA? I have no idea who governs regulations for private submarines lol

    But this would also be crazy low priority if it was OSHA, I imagine. The people working on (doing maintenance on) the sub weren’t in danger, right? So just four to five people who sign waivers every few months? Fuck that take a look at some more meat packing factories.

      The guy was reporting unsafe working conditions at the workshop the sub was being built at. There have been warnings signs for a long time that were ignored. The hearing’s purpose is to figure out who could have prevented it and have better enforcement in the future.
