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.

Unsafe as in "the sub isn't safe" or unsafe as in "the people working on the sub while it's out of the water are in danger"? Not defending the sub dumbasses of course I'm just not sure if the first one falls under OSHA

Found a clip. And a CNN summary

There's much more meat to this story, but "hand-typed Excel spreadsheet!" is more relatable to laymen, even if it's completely irrelevant.

Edit: Here's the 7 hour long testimony if you want to hear the full version.
