have been cut in half and occupational injury and the illness
rate has declined 40 percent. At the same time, U.S. employment
has doubled from 56 million workers at 3.5 million worksites
to 111 million workers at 7 million sites.

of 2,303 including 1,123 inspectors. The agency's budget request

Under the Bush Administration, OSHA is focusing
on three strategies: 1) strong, fair, and effective enforcement;
2) outreach, education, and compliance assistance; and 3)
