![["In fiscal year 1982, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) conducted 61,225 workplace inspections, focusing on more potentially dangerous worksites. The number of inspections increased from the previous year, with over 80% concentrated in high hazard worksites. OSHA's efforts may lead to decreased job injury and illness rates. Inspections in construction sites, the most hazardous industry, were also emphasized."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Glenn%20Lee%20English,%20Jr.%20Collection/CAC_CC_017_3_170_14_0000-Labor,%20Occupational%20Safety%20and%20Health%20Administration,%201983-1984,%201986/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_017_3_170_14_0003_thumbnail.jpg "Secretary Donovan Announces Major Reduction in Paperwork for Employers in Certain Industries")
