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.

Inspectors will use injury data to determine the need for full-scale safety inspections, with potential fines for falsification of records. The new policy is outlined in OSHA Program Directive CPL 2.25B."]](/thumb/CAC_CC_017_3_170_13_0024.jpg "OSHA Lifts Partial Stay on Records Access Rule for Construction Workers")
