4. 40th Anniversary, April 28, 2011 • In the act's first year, employees were being killed on the job at a rate of 38 a day. • With a workforce double that size now, that number is down to 12 a day in 2010. • Worker injuries and illnesses are down - from 10.9 incidents per 100 workers in 1972 to fewer than 4 per 100 in 2009.

5. Adds Value "A March 2010 Liberty Mutual Insurance company report showed that the most disabling injuries (those involving six or more days away from work) cost American employers more than $53 billion a year – over $1 billion a week - in workers' compensation costs alone." OSHA Assistant Secretary David Michaels, April 14, 2011

6. OSHA Coverage • OSHA is a small agency; with state plans there are approximately 2,200 inspectors responsible for the health and safety of 130 million workers, employed at more than 8 million worksites around the nation • This translates to about one compliance officer for every 59,000 workers.

7. The Mission To assure so far as possible that every worker has a safe and healthful work environment.

29. SST 2011 • National DART (Days Away, Restricted, or Transferred) is 1.8 • National DAFWII (Days Away From Work Injury and Illness) is 1.1 Primary List targets: Manufacturing: DART of 7.0 / DAFWII of 5.0 Non-manufacturing: DART of 15.0 / DAFWII of 14.0 Nursing & Personal care facilities: DART of 16.0 / DAFWII of 13.0

37. THE BOTTOM LINE

38. Disclaimer This information has been developed by an OSHA Compliance Assistance Specialist and is intended to assist employers, workers, and others as they strive to improve workplace health and safety. While we attempt to thoroughly address specific topics [or hazards], it is not possible to include discussion of everything necessary to ensure a healthy and safe working environment in a presentation of this nature. Thus, this information must be understood as a tool for addressing workplace hazards, rather than an exhaustive statement of an employer’s legal obligations, which are defined by statute, regulations, and standards. Likewise, to the extent that this information references practices or procedures that may enhance health or safety, but which are not required by a statute, regulation, or standard, it cannot, and does not, create additional legal obligations. Finally, over time, OSHA may modify rules and interpretations in light of new technology, information, or circumstances; to keep apprised of such developments, or to review information on a wide range of occupational safety and health topics, you can visit OSHA’s website at www.osha.gov.
