Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission Strategic Plan, 2009-2014

摘要

The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission (Review Commission) is committed to ensuring that all parties who come before it - employers, employees, employee representatives, and the U.S. Department of Labor - receive fair and timely resolution of safety and health disputes in American work places. Consistent with the behavior of highly effective organizations, the agency is reassessing the environment within which it operates to be more citizen-centered, and to make the most effective use of our resources. The agency's 2006-2011 strategic plan focused on reducing the time it takes to dispose of cases at the Commission level. The ultimate goal, to be reached by 2011, was to dispose of each case within nine months of it being directed for review. The plan also utilized revisions to the agency's Procedural Rules to process cases more efficiently. This updated and revised strategic plan for 2009-2014 is submitted consistent with the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) requirement that agencies review and update their strategic plans every three years. This updated strategic plan continues to focus on a reduction in the length of time needed to resolve cases at the Commission level, as well as introducing new strategies to expedite the handling of cases at the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) level.
