OSHA WILL INCREASE INSPECTIONS AND PENALTIES UNDER SEVERE VIOLATOR PROGRAM

The Severe Violator Enforcement Program, scheduled to become effective by June 5, will increase the number of OSHA inspections on jobsites where OSHA deems there are “recalcitrant employers who endanger workers by demonstrating their indifference to their responsibilities under the law.” In addition, it will include mandatory follow-up inspections on these jobsites and inspections on worksites run by the same employer where similar hazards might exist.
