An OSHA official at a Jan. 29 news conference stated the agency will once again be issuing news releases when an employer has been cited for safety and health violations.
Senior Counselor to the Secretary of Labor Patricia Smith stated that the Trump administration policy of not issuing news releases on citations has been revoked.
Whether or not citation documents will be included with the news releases is undetermined at this point, Smith said, but “OSHA will be issuing press releases when they issue citations.”
