The Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has announced a new targeting policy for safety inspections, based on lost workday injury rates in high hazard industries. Firms with good safety records may be excluded from inspections, while those with high injury rates or inaccurate injury records will be targeted. Inspectors will use injury data to determine the need for full-scale safety inspections, with potential fines for falsification of records. The new policy is outlined in OSHA Program Directive CPL 2.25B.
