2017 OSHA INSPECTION ACTIVITY

In FY 2017, OSHA conducted 32,408 inspections, including 18,031 (about 56 percent) unprogrammed inspections, which includes employee complaints, injuries/fatalities, and referrals. The high percentage of unprogrammed inspections indicates that OSHA continues to devote considerable resources responding to referrals and complaints. Of the 32,408 inspections, 14,377 (about 44 percent) were programmed inspections. Programmed inspections focus OSHA’s enforcement resources towards the industries and operations where known hazards exist (e.g., combustible dusts, chemical processing, ship-breaking, falls in construction).
