OSHA officials in Washing ton Wednesday announced the success of the program in Texas and six other Southern states has prompted a six-month ex tension of the project beyond its original Jan. 12 expiration date. Under the Texas program, an employer must contact state safety engineers and request a consultative safety inspection along OSHA guidelines. Once the employer corrects deficien cies spotted in the state inspec tion, the business notifies OSHA of compliance and is issued a certificate of exemption from routine OSHA field inspections for a year, Martin said. OSHA continues to have the right under the program to con duct inspections after worker complaints or accidents. Martin said the program’s two main attractions are its volun tary nature and its potential as a source of savings in workers’ compensation insurance pre mium payments which are pro jected to reach $ 1.9 billion from all Texas employers this year. “It’s strictly an honor system,” Martin said. “It can help them (employers) reduce their work ers’ compensation insurance premiums and help them comp ly with federal regulations with out having to be in contact with OSHA.” Martin said resentment of OSHA among smaller busines ses is so strong that it has caused some bugs in the program, which currently requires the business to contact the agency of compliance through the state consultative inspection. OSHA then sends the employer the cer tificate of exemption. The anti-OSHA attitudes of some employers who have sought to participate in the program have resulted in the businesses not following through and informing OSHA of their compliance, leaving them open to continued federal inspections.
