In addition to NIOSH’s ERCs, the president’s budget would eliminate the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board and OSHA’s Susan Harwood training grants. CSB, which investigates industrial chemical accidents and makes recommendations for improving the safety of plants, workers, and communities, is proposed for elimination “due to the relative duplicative nature of its work.” CSB has issued its own budget proposal, requesting $12.1 million in fiscal year 2019. The agency’s budget justification details its accomplishments related to chemical incident investigations, recommendations to reduce future safety risks and hazards, and safety outreach and collaboration. “Through its independent investigations, the CSB plays a unique role in fostering collaboration with industry, regulators, standards-setting bodies and professional organizations, thus emphasizing the CSB’s vital role in driving critical chemical safety change in the United States,” CSB’s budget document reads. The president’s budget proposal calls OSHA’s training grants “unnecessary and unproven,” stating that the agency has no evidence that the program is effective. OSHA’s training grants provide education for workers and employers on workplace safety and health hazards, responsibilities, and rights. The grants target underserved, low-literacy, and high-hazard industry workers. The Trump administration’s proposal requests a $2.6 billion or 21 percent budget decrease from the 2017 enacted level for the Department of Labor. DOL’s “budget in brief” document provides level funding for OSHA in FY 2019, plus an additional 71 full-time equivalent workers. The department seeks a budget increase of $4.6 million for MSHA, plus 12 new FTEs.  Under the president’s proposal, CDC would receive $5.7 billion for fiscal year 2019, down from the $7 billion appropriated to the agency for fiscal year 2018. The president’s budget would provide CDC with $175 million to expand its support to state health departments through the Prescription Drug Overdose Prevention program.
