WASHINGTON -- OSHA is seeking public comment until July 6, 2004 on its Site-Specific Targeting (SST) inspection program to determine more accurately how the program is accomplishing its goal of targeting the nation's most hazardous workplaces for inspection. The SST program, first implemented in 1999, uses data from the OSHA Data Initiative survey to focus the Agency's resources on outreach, consultations, technical assistance and target workplaces that have reported high injury and illness rates. Establishments selected under the SST program receive both a comprehensive safety and a comprehensive health inspection. OSHA is requesting suggestions that can help improve the SST program, as well as information on how the program is perceived by workers and employers. Specifically, the Agency is seeking comments on the following questions:
Notice of the proposal appears in the May 6 issue of the Federal Register. OSHA's role is to assure the safety and health of America's workers by setting and enforcing standards; providing training, outreach, and education; establishing partnerships; and encouraging continual improvement in workplace safety and health.
