Report Link Keeping the Ball in Your Court: Creating Allies in Your Workforce to Minimize OSHA Inspections, Citations, and PenaltiesFisher & Phillips, LLP - November 19, 2009 According to Occupational Safety and Health Administration statistics, nearly 20 percent of all OSHA inspections are prompted by a complaint, typically from a current or former employee. Pending legislation that proposes dramatic increases in employee involvement in the inspection and citation process threatens to raise this percentage and increase the likelihood of unfavorable inspection results and more severe penalties, as a direct consequence of individual employee input. Proposed whistleblower protections that protect employees from retaliation if they make a complaint or get involved will likely bolster employee confidence to complain and participate in inspections. This increased employee involvement and a change in whistleblower protections, coupled with the anticipated overall swell in OSHA enforcement activity and increased penalties, may potentially expose employers to significantly greater liability for safety infractions than in the past, as well as create substantial employee relations problems. Report Link Nursing Homes Earmarked for Site Specific Targeted Inspections.Jackson Lewis LLP - September 28, 2004 Continuing its six-year long program of site specific targeted inspections, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration in 2004 has been focusing on approximately 4,000 high-hazard worksites for unannounced comprehensive safety and health inspections. Report Link Special Report: OSHA Announces an Ominous New Enforcement Initiative.Jackson Lewis LLP - March 17, 2003 The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has announced an important new enforcement policy targeting 10,000 specific employers for more robust workplace inspections that may result in heavy citations, expanded penalties, and continuing governmental scrutiny. OSHA's new strategy announced on March 11 is part of the agency's reinvigorated efforts to force employers to improve their safety records. Report Link OSHA Issues Alerts to Over 14,000 Employers With Elevated Injury and Illness Rates.Jackson Lewis LLP - March 04, 2003 On February 24, 2003, OSHA announced it would be contacting over 14,000 employers to alert them that their recent injury and illness rates are above the national average and suggesting they act to decrease the hazards faced by their employees.
