OSHA targets shooting range

The result is that entire process is completely subjective, and perhaps inappropriately influenced by factors such as the mood of the inspector.

That has been my personal experience. Its a job that requires a attention whore personality that needs to be honored.

Thanx for the link. I can see where you're coming from with transfering fluids to those larger bottles, but I am looking at a 2oz bottle of Hoppes right now. Even from the factory, it doesn't have the room for all the OSHA written standards. I never carry anything larger to use with my weapons cleaning gear since it would be too big for the range box.

I would also question the number of employees at the workplace. IIRC, if the are fewer than 10 employees, then OSHA is basically barking up a tree when it comes to enforcing compliance with a fine. They would be fining a small business out of existance.

Hazmat for patches? Even hospitals can discard bandages and dressings with similar amounts of bodily fluids on them in normal trash without contravening OSHA regs. That doesn't seem fair. All-in-all, it seems like the range was targeted.
