We will complete our full study and issue our report in electronic format later this year. This report provides preliminary results on the following four research questions: 1. What is known about the conditions of FAA facilities? 2. What are the most common types of workplace injuries and illnesses, if any, reported by FAA employees? 3. How has FAA responded to any safety deficiencies identified through its inspections and those conducted by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)? 4.
