In a memo sent Monday to OSHA’s regional administrators, Director of Enforcement Programs Thomas Galassi said the agency is making a “concerted effort” to better protect temporary workers from workplace hazards using enforcement, outreach and training.
Citing the large number of temporary workers in the U.S. and recent high profile fatal incidents, Galassi instructed agency personnel to gather and track information during inspections and investigations of worksites where temporary workers are employed.
