The Occupational Health and Safety Administration began a one year investigation to asses the accuracy of injury and illness reports in the workplace.

This new investigation requires the U.S Department of Labor to compile the statistics of workplace injury, illness, or death. Employers are also supposed to keep these records. Record keeping on these incidents is essential to finding the cause of these accidents. OSHA will inspect companies’ records, interview employees, and perform a safety check of facilities.
