OSHA’s updated Site-Specific Targeting (SST) inspection program took effect on May 20, which focuses on non-construction workplaces with 20 or more employees. The new program identifies establishments for inspection based on:

• High Days Away, Restricted, or Transferred (DART) rates in 2023
• Upward-trending DART rates significantly above the 2022 private sector average
• Exceptionally low DART rates to verify data accuracy
• Failure to submit 2023 Form 300A data

The program sets separate DART thresholds for manufacturing and non-manufacturing sectors. This initiative aims to direct enforcement resources to workplaces with elevated injury and illness rates, ensuring safer work environments.
