Fall Protection Focus: OSHA investigations will rise

Starting in August, OSHA officers will be able to open an investigation on any employee observed not following fall protection regulations. An OSHA inspector can open an investigation on any employee observed even through the course of the inspector's commute to / from work or on the way to another inspection site. The OSHA inspection will initially be limited to fall protection, but the inspection can be expanded by the inspector at his or her discretion to other areas of concern.

This program will be in place for at least the following six months, with OSHA planning to review it at the 6-month mark (presumably January 2024).
