OSHA continues inspections of federal workplaces
OSHA will continue its inspection program for federal worksites, the agency announced last week.
The Federal Agency Targeting Inspection Program (.pdf file) focuses on federal agency worksites with a high number of lost-time cases. These worksites are staffed by either federal employees or contractors supervised on a day-to-day basis by federal employees.
The program was created last year in response to a Government Accountability Office audit showing 109 inspections of high-hazard federal worksites found multiple violations of OSHA safety and health standards.
