OSHA Focuses Enforcement on Amputation Hazards
Employers in Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas targeted by OSHA with on-site inspections and evaluations.
Fifty-seven percent of the reported workplace amputations in 2015 occurred in the manufacturing industry, leading OSHA to launch an enforcement initiative in four U.S. states.
The agency announced a “heightened focus” on amputation hazards in Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas, with a goal to hold more employers responsible and enforce safety regulations.
