OSHA updates Site-Specific Targeting program

On May 20, OSHA updated its Site-Specific Targeting (SST) program to reflect the use of Form 300A data for calendar years (CY) 2021-2023. The SST program is OSHA’s primary planned inspection program for general industry establishments with 20 or more employees with the highest injury and illness rates.

Using Form 300A data from CY 2021-2023, OSHA may target establishments for inspection based on:

• High injury and illness rates from 2023 data.
• Upward trending injury and illness rates based on 2021-2023 data at or above twice the 2022 private sector average.
• Injury and illness rates markedly below industry averages.
• Failure to submit an OSHA Form 300A in 2023.

This update replaces the previous SST directive, issued in February 2023, which used CY 2019-2021 data.
