Admissibility of OSHA Reports

A reader inquires:
OSHA reports obviously fall under the umbrella of Texas Rule of Evidence 803(8). However, in order to get the opinions of the investigator admitted, is it a necessity to have the investigator qualified under Daubert/Robinson, or is that up to the discretion of the Court? Authority seems to point in different directions. Any response is welcome.
Have some insight? Go here to provide it.
