What is
New?
OSHA
has notified 14,000 employers nationwide
that their injury and illness rates are
higher than the national
average.
OSHA identified
businesses with the nation's highest rates
of workplace injuries and illnesses through
employer-reported data from a 2007 survey of
80,000 worksites (this survey collected
injury and illness data from calendar year
2006). Workplaces receiving notifications
had 5.4 or more injuries resulting in days
away from work, restricted work activity, or
job transfer (DART) for every 100 full-time
employees. Nationally, the average U.S.
workplace had 2.3 DART occurrences for every
100 employees.
Employers receiving the letters were also
provided copies of their injury and illness
data, along with a list of the most
frequently cited OSHA standards for their
specific industry. The letter also offered
assistance in helping turn the numbers
around by suggesting, among other things,
the use of free OSHA safety and health
consultation services provided through the
states, state workers' compensation
agencies, insurance carriers, or outside
safety and health consultants.
