Top 10 States for OSHA Physician Office Inspections
When it comes to states with the most OSHA inspections of offices and clinics of medical doctors, 10 states, seven with their own state-run enforcement agencies, accounted for 72% of all inspections, according to OSHA statistics for FY 2008, the most recent data available.
For the second year in a row, Pennsylvania, a federal OSHA state, led with 11% of all physician office inspections. Nevada is new to the top ten list in the third position.
Although most of the Pennsylvania inspections were planned, the majority of Nevada’s inspections were prompted by complaints or referrals.
