tage of the program since it be
gan last July 12 and another 400
are on a waiting list.
OSHA officials in Washing
ton Wednesday announced the
success of the program in Texas
and six other Southern states
has prompted a six-month ex
tension of the project beyond its
original Jan. 12 expiration date.
Under the Texas program, an
employer must contact state
safety engineers and request a
consultative safety inspection
along OSHA guidelines. Once
the employer corrects deficien
cies spotted in the state inspec
tion, the business notifies OSHA
of compliance and is issued a
certificate of exemption from
routine OSHA field inspections
for a year, Martin said.
OSHA continues to have the
right under the program to con
duct inspections after worker
complaints or accidents.
Martin said the program’s two
main attractions are its volun
tary nature and its potential as a
source of savings in workers’
compensation insurance pre
mium payments which are pro
jected to reach $ 1.9 billion from
all Texas employers this year.
“It’s strictly an honor system,”
Martin said. “It can help them
(employers) reduce their work
ers’ compensation insurance
premiums and help them comp
ly with federal regulations with
out having to be in contact with
OSHA.”
Martin said resentment of
OSHA among smaller busines
ses is so strong that it has caused
some bugs in the program,
which currently requires the
business to contact the agency of
compliance through the state
consultative inspection. OSHA
then sends the employer the cer
tificate of exemption.
The anti-OSHA attitudes of
some employers who have
sought to participate in the
program have resulted in the
businesses not following
through and informing OSHA
of their compliance, leaving
them open to continued federal
inspections.

United Press International
HOUSTON — It may be dif
ficult for a couple charged with
drug possession to argue they
have no knowledge of the subst
ance since police officers found
a plaque in their home reading
“Ray and Sara Johnson — Man-
drax Connection of the Year.”
Prosecutors said Wednesday
that Mandrax, a form of metha-
qualone, was found at the John
son’s home Jan. 5, along with the
plaque and other drugs.
Johnson, 48, and his w'ife
Sara, 24, were arrested and
charged with possession of a
controlled substance with intent
to deliver.
