I agree. I do know that OSHA has cited lack of jurisdiction in the past. They say the FAA has jurisdiction. This also includes the EPA, which is why air quality standards that apply to buildings do not apply to aircraft cabins.

The requirements of OSHA’s bloodborne pathogens standard concerning hepatitis B
vaccinations, personal protective equipment (PPE), and exposure training could be applied to
employees on aircraft in operation (other than flight deck crew) without compromising aviation
safety. However, OSHA requirements that necessitate engineering and administrative controls
may implicate aviation safety and would need to be subject to FAA approval.
Hmm. Could it apply? When did the company last vaccinate us against hepatitis?
I mean is working for zero pay cleaning planes "occupational"? If labor is being performed does the minimum wage apply? Taxes? SS?
Remember, not everyone cleaning is governed by the RLA so the waters aren't as muddy for them.

The problem is this place is vidictive. You go to OSHA using your real name they will manufacture a reason to fire you. They have done it many times before.
