The most recent press release, "OSHA alliance provides important workplace safety updates for technical guide assessing robot systems," was submitted on Jan. 26.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration published 15 press releases the month before, marking a 26.7 percent increase for the current month.
OSHA regulates safety and health conditions in most private industries. It also administers the Whistleblower Protection Program, which ensures an employer cannot retaliate against an employee who reports any safety issues, health concerns, or other secured activity.
The agency can assess a maximum fine of $7,000 for every serious violation of OSHA standards and $70,000 for a repeated or willful violation.
