Publisher's Synopsis
OSHA's mission is to assure the safety and health of America's working men and women by promulgating and enforcing standards and regulations; providing training, outreach, and education; establishing partnerships; and encouraging continual improvement in workplace safety and health as well as the development of comprehensive safety and health management systems. Effective and efficient use of resources requires careful, flexible planning. In this way, the overall goal of hazard abatement and employee protection is best served. This directive describes the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Federal Agency Targeting Inspection Program (FEDTARG) for fiscal year (FY) 2012. It defines key terms, describes the development process of FEDTARG inspection lists, outlines scheduling and inspection procedures for federal establishments, and provides information on inspection coding within the Integrated Management Information System (IMIS), and the OSHA Information System (OIS). In addition, the directive raises Regional awareness about the use of federal agency alternate and supplementary standards in developing local emphasis programs.
