The most recent press release, "US Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration releases 2022 injury and illness data," was submitted on March 31.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration published 32 press releases the month before, marking a 21.9 percent increase for the current month.
OSHA regulates safety and health conditions in most private industries. It also administers the Whistleblower Protection Program, which ensures an employer cannot retaliate against an employee who reports any safety issues, health concerns, or other secured activity.
The agency can assess a maximum fine of $7,000 for every serious violation of OSHA standards and $70,000 for a repeated or willful violation.
