OSHA surveys employers, finds companies that have most injuries
Posted on Friday, March 12th, 2010 at 1:41 pm
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration surveyed employers to collect data on workplace injury and illness. Letters have been sent to 15,000 workplaces that have the most reported injuries and illnesses resulting in missed work.
The letters have a list of the workplace’s injury and illness data, as well as OSHA safety standards for the relevant industry. If a company receives a letter, it means that they arehaving more injury and illness reports than average, and that the company needs to take immediate action to fix the issues.
The letter also offers advice about how to reduce injury and illness in the workplace. This includes information about official assistance for which the company may be eligible.
If you or someone you love has been injured on the job, contact the New Jersey workers compensation lawyers of Levinson Axelrod, P.A. by calling 800-346-5529.
