OSHA NATIONAL NEWS RELEASE

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

U.S. Department of Labor

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR ANNOUNCES NATIONAL EMPHASIS PROGRAM AIMED AT REDUCING,
PREVENTING WORKPLACE HAZARDS IN WAREHOUSES, DISTRIBUTION CENTERS

Program also includes mail, parcel processing; local delivery; high-risk retail
workplaces

WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health
Administration today launched a national emphasis program to prevent workplace
hazards in warehouses, processing facilities distribution centers, and high-risk
retail establishments.

In the past 10 years, warehousing and distribution centers have experienced
tremendous growth with more than 1.9 million people employed in the industry.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics data shows injury and illness rates for these
establishments are higher than in private industry overall and, in some sectors,
more than twice the rate of private industry.

"Our enforcement efforts are designed to do one thing: lead to permanent change
in workplace safety," said Assistant Secretary for Occupational Safety and
Health Doug Parker. "This emphasis program allows OSHA to direct resources to
establishments where evidence shows employers must be more intentional in
addressing the root causes of worker injuries and align their business practices
with the goal to ensure worker health and safety."

Under this three-year emphasis program, OSHA will conduct comprehensive safety
inspections focused on hazards related to powered industrial vehicle operations,
material handling and storage, walking and working surfaces, means of egress and
fire protection. The program will also include inspections of retail
establishments with high injury rates with a focus on storage and loading areas;
however, OSHA may expand an inspection's scope when evidence shows that
violations may exist in other areas of the establishment.

In addition, OSHA will assess heat and ergonomic hazards under the emphasis
program, and health inspections may be conducted if OSHA determines these
hazards are present.

Inspected establishments will be chosen from two lists. One includes
establishments with industry codes covered under this emphasis program. The
second consists of a limited number of retail establishments with the highest
rates of injuries and illnesses resulting in days away, restricted duty or job
transfer.

State plans are required to adopt this emphasis program or establish a different
program at least as effective as the federal model.
