I've worked for plenty of businesses that never ever had an OSHA inspection. Yes, all business must comply with OSHA laws but "complying" and actually going through an inspection are two very different things. I've an associate that deals in commercial cooking equipment and his horror stories about certain restaurants in town can make a person shudder. But, I still see those businesses in operation, OSHA or not, mush less health inspections.
I won't put words in David's mouth, but I believe the point he was trying to make is that he's now gone through those inspections and wanted to let people know. I've been cruising around these forums a while and never seen anyone else post similar. Is it just because they didn't feel they needed to? Is it because they haven't done it? I don't know the answers to those questions. But the thing I do know is that I feel better about FSUSA knowing that their premesis has been inspected for safety. Proper handling is a necessary step in the process and having it certified as safe for his working environment is a good thing. There has been lots of sinister motives ascribed to FSUSA lately, much of which is based on pure conjecture.
I have been reading ecf for less than two months. I looked at many threads much older than that here just to gauge the tone of the forum before I decided to join here. My first impression was a vaping community that seemed pretty tight knit and very friendly. I've had great experiences with a number of vendors. Every vendor I've dealt with personalized their invoices, shipped very fast and I've never had an issue with any of them. I liked what I saw in this community that is ecf, until recently. FSUSA made an announcement in this sub-forum. He (David) didn't go into the general forum and post this. You call posting in his sub-forum to be "Marketing".
Facts will never be conjecture... OSHA is what it is... and it is NOT a marketing tool.
You want to see marketing about an OSHA inspection go here
Pallet One - Press Release for an example. I haven't seen them make a press release and there's no mention of it on the FSUSA site or the FSUSA board.
There's now been 7 pages of discussion on the matter in just this thread and people with comments ranging from positive to extremely hostile. Combine this with the juice testing thread and it's been downright hostile in many posts between the two. In other vendors sub-forums have you seen people saying they were spreading lies to further their marketing? How many have you seen where people say they are spreading half truths? There's a thread in the PIF forum titled "Is this intimidation or a good thing? I can't decide........ " The OP for the thread takes the announcement of MistressNomad starting at FSUSA and the testing they are going to be doing then states "I don't know why, it just gave me chills ". I think people may be over reacting just a touch.
