With the virtual halt to federal OSHA press releases on enforcement cases, ISHN asked veteran agency observers and safety and health experts for their input on whether the practice pays off in changing corporate misbehavior.
As an occupational safety and health person, I found reading OSHA citations to be educational. It is always interesting to see where PPE is, and is not used, in what industries, etc. So, even if there’s no press release language shaming the employer, the citation press releases are/were a means to get a pulse on OSHA’s on-the-ground activities.
