OSHA Gets Money to Investigate Underreporting of Workplace Accidents
The Charlotte Observer continued its coverage of the underreporting of workplace injuries on 7/3/2008 with this story. According to the report, the U.S. Senate has appropriated additional money to fund a recordkeeping enforcement unit within OSHA. The unit would examine company injury logs and compare them to other available information to determine whether the employer has violated OSHA by failing to record workplace injuries.
