Alcmene Haloftis of the Occupational Health and Safety Administration said OSHA’s new enforcement focus under the Obama Administration may be on “under reporting” of injuries and illnesses.
Addressing the National Safety Conference for the Poultry Industry, Haloftis told listeners OSHA may focus on low-rate employers in high-rate industries.
Haloftis, who is with OSHA’s Directorate of Enforcement Programs, said a high-level task force at OSHA is working to revamp the agency’s Enhanced Enforcement Program, and the new program should be in place by the end of the summer of 2009.
