Summary

This Instruction implements OSHA’s SST inspection program, using employer-submitted Form 300A data for calendar years (CY) 2017-2019. The SST is OSHA’s main SST inspection plan for non-construction workplaces that have 20 or more employees, and is based on the data received from injury and illness information that employers submitted for CY 2017-2019 in accordance with 29 CFR §1904.41. This program helps OSHA achieve the goal of ensuring that employers provide safe and healthful workplaces by directing enforcement resources to those workplaces with the highest rates of injuries and illnesses. This Instruction identifies key references, describes the inspection list, provides scheduling and inspection procedures, and provides information on OSHA Information System (OIS) coding.
