OSHA has announced its new site-specific targeting plan that will zero in on about 3,200 high-hazard work sites for unannounced comprehensive safety and health inspections in the coming year.
For five straight years now, OSHA has rolled out a plan of targeted inspections based on injury and illness data. This year's program stems from OSHA's Data Initiative for 2002, which surveyed approximately 95,000 employers to attain their injury and illness data for 2001.
