Enhanced Federal Annual Monitoring Evaluation (FAME) Report of the North Carolina Occupational Safety and Health Program. Designated State Agency: North Carolina Department of Labor, Div. of Occupational Safety and Health. (October 1, 2008-September 30, 2009)

摘要

This report assessed the North Carolina Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health State Plans (OSHNC) progress towards achieving the performance goals established in their Federal Fiscal Year (FY) 2009 Annual Performance Plan and reviewed the effectiveness of programmatic areas related to enforcement activities during the period of October 1, 2008 to September 30, 2009. North Carolina has made significant progress toward the accomplishment of each of its established goals and completed the promulgation of a crane and derrick standard, which became effective on October 1, 2009. However, during the comprehensive monitoring review, twelve recommendations were made to North Carolina to enhance the performance of the State Program. These recommendations address: procedures to improve case file documentation; procedures to improve communication with next-of-kin; improved written correspondence to complainants; procedures for review of inspection data; improved violation classification and penalty policies and practices; and procedures related to the discrimination program.
