Report To The Congress


OF THE UNITED STATES


How Effective Are

OSHA's Complaint Procedures?





Virtually every complaint the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration and States
receive alleging workplace hazards results in
an inspection. However, inspectors find that
most of these alleged hazards do not violate
safety or health standards and involve work-
places which are not in high-risk industries.

Because enforcement staffs are too small to
handle the growing backlog of complaints,
they should evaluate them and try to resolve
those not involving serious hazards by some
means other than inspections. This would al-
low for quicker resolution and more inspec-
tions in high-risk areas.
