OSHA To Fine Employers
for Distracted Driving Accidents
.
.
OSHA has announced an aggressive program
to combat "The Number 1 Killer of Workers,"
Distracted Driving. The announcement was made
today by Dr. David Michaels, Assistant
Secretary of Labor of the Occupational Safety
and Health (OSHA).
.
The enforcement program was described by
Michaels at a symposium on the prevention of
Occupationally-Related Distracted Driving
conference hosted by Johns Hopkins University.
Following the policy announced by President
Obama in his Executive Order banning texting
while driving, OSHA is calling upon all
employers to ban texting while driving.
.
It is the intention of OSHA to provide
education and enforcement on the issue of
distracted driving. OSHA will investigate
motor vehicle accidents, including cell phone
records, and will issue citations and fine
employers where an accident involved texting
while driving. While OSHA has juridiction over
employers, and not employees, it hopes to
encourage all employers to declare motor
vehicles a "text free zone."
