In an unreleased report on occupational safety and health hazards in the Capitol Hill complex, the Office of Compliance (OoC) found 2,666 hazards during the 108th Congress, reports The Hill.
Although the report covered only a quarter of the 15-million square feet of facilities and grounds under the OoC’s jurisdiction, and the number of hazards is several times the amount found in a smaller survey in 2002, OoC officials say it doesn’t mean a safety problem is getting worse.
