Local emphasis programs. OSHA publishes enforcement strategies designed
to address hazards or industries that pose a significant risk to workers. The
Local Emphasis Programs may be administered by a single Area Office or at the
regional level. The enforcement strategy may be associated with an outreach
effort to make employers aware of the program and the hazards the programs are
designed to address. The most current list of local and regional programs has
been included as an appendix. Employers can use the listing as a guide to
industries and hazards that are an OSHA enforcement focus. Interpretation
letters. In this edition, we include some of the more recent guidance OSHA
has issued in the form of letters of interpretation. Topics covered include
coverage of volunteers (forklift operator training for multiple facilities
determined by similarity of potential workplace hazards); criteria for and
training of the hospital safety worker per the requirements of the HAZWOPER
standard and as discussed in the "Best Practices for Hospital-based First
Receivers" guidance document; revising baseline audiogram when there is a
standard threshold shift in only one ear; conditions under which a stair railing
can also serve as a handrail; and chocking of trailers at United States Postal
Service facilities.
