This week, the U.S. Department of Labor announced that OSHA has updated its Site-Specific Targeting (SST) Program to target workplaces with the highest injury and illness rates for calendar years 2017-2019. The update took effect Dec. 14 and replaced the 2016 SST Program. In addition, OSHA said it will implement national and local emphasis programs to target high-risk hazards and industries. OMA members should consider participating in the OMA’s Jan. 14 safety webinar. Presented by OMA Connections Partner Safex, this 60-minute event will examine OSHA emphasis programs currently in force in our region, how to handle employee complaints to OSHA, and how to prepare for an OSHA site inspection.
