General • Normal Guidelines for Repeat/OSHA History • Fixed establishment – 3 yrs for this site • Mobile establishment – 3 yrs for any site within Area Office jurisdiction • Exceptions: High gravity violations can go nationwide
EEP Sites • Nationwide coverage • Any inspection done of a company’s site will automatically look at EEP violations • Company will get priority for any programmed inspections
How to become an EEP Employer An employer qualifies for Enhanced Enforcement if: 1. a fatality with 3 or more high gravity serious violations, a willful or repeat violation related to the fatality 2. Two or more failure to abate violations
