“The National Transportation Safety Board today
recommended
audits of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's oversight
processes in light of several deadly crashes that the NTSB investigated. The
findings from these investigations raise serious questions about the oversight
of motor carrier operations.”
“The Occupational Safety and Health Administration today
issued a proposed rule to improve workplace safety and health through improved
tracking of workplace injuries and illnesses. The announcement follows the
Bureau of Labor Statistics' release of its annual Occupational Injuries and
Illnesses report, which estimates that three million workers were injured on
the job in 2012.”
