A new report by the Government Accountability office has concluded that employees and employers are underreporting work related injuries and ilnesses. The GAO examined OSHA audit data from 2005 to 2007.
One finding was that some employees underreport injuries to avoid discipline or firings. On the employer side, the report found that employers may try to downplay the extent of a workplace injury to avoid reporting it .
Both employer and employee underreporting of injuries will continue to harm the health and safety of the workplace. Hopefully, David Micheals will be ready to tackle this problem.
