OSHA’s Severe Violators Enforcement Program Effective June 18

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) Severe Violators Enforcement Program (SVEP) directive becomes effective June 18th. The agency announced in April that it was implementing the program to focus enforcement efforts on employers who willfully and repeatedly endanger workers by exposing them to serious hazards. The directive establishes procedures and enforcement actions, including increased inspections and mandatory follow-up inspections for work sites where a company has a pattern of violations at other sites. click to dowload: OSHA Instruction PDF
