OSHA Rescinds SHARP Policy Memo On Size Requirements, Citing Resource Shortages

OSHA, citing resource shortages for state-level cooperative programs, has partly rescinded a policy issued just last fall that would have enforced employment limits for participation in the small-business compliance program known as Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP), with last year's policy move prompting area program directors to begin removing work sites that did not fit a 250-employee on-site or 500-worker corporate-wide limit.
