As we begin celebration of Labor Day 1999, America's workplaces have never been safer. Under the Clinton Administration, OSHA continues working aggressively to protect the safety and health of America's workers.
Enforcement remains strong.
Significant cases are up 187 percent since 1993 and still growing. Penalty rates per inspection are higher under this administration than any other. Targeting worksites with high injury and illness rates is paying off. At the same time, education, partnerships and compliance assistance are all growing, too. Over the past five years OSHA funded more than 127,000 consultation visits, helping employers identify and correct almost a million hazards.
