The Dow Jones average of inspectors and the states have about the same number to inspect nearly 6 million work sites. This averages to inspections once every 84 years for all work places or once every 25 years just for Job sites that are considered especially hazardous, such as in the shipbuilding, meat-packing and metal-working industries. It would take Hawaii's inspectors 16 years to inspect all of its job sites at least once, according to the report. As one of the 23 states with a workplace safety plan accepted by OSHA, Hawaii has both federal and state safety inspectors. Ellen Kondo, an official with the state Labor Department's Division of Occupational Safety and Health, said there were 26 state inspectors last year.

Those 26 inspectors are responsible for ensuring the safety of all the state's public employees and workers for the state's 26,862 private-sector employers. Last year, Kondo said, the 26 inspectors conducted a total of 1,659 private- and public-sector workplace inspections. Kondo said DOSH is hampered by a shortage of money. Funding for the state plan is set by the federal government with matching funds provided by the state. OSHA inspectors too few to inspect most work sites Advertiser Suff and News Services WASHINGTON The government has pinched the resources of its worker safety program so tightly that the average American Job site can expect to see federal inspectors just once in 84 years, AFL-CIO officials charged yesterday.

"Workplace inspections by OSHA, the federal agency that is supposed to protect health and safety, have become a once in a lifetime experience," Thomas R. Donahue, AFL-CIO secretary-treasurer, said in releasing the union's report "By and large, fines are very low and inspection infrequent. OSHA is clearly an agency with a weak bark and an even weaker bite," he said. "In effect, the nation's employers are not afraid to neglect or ignore the health and safety of their employees." A spokesman for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, Doug Fuller, said, "The issue isn't how many times 30 industrials, which had been in negative territory for most of the day, added 3.3G points to close at 3,307.32.

President Bush is asking for $293.9 million in OSHA funding for fiscal 1993 $2.6 million less than the estimated fiscal 1992 budget authority. Over the past decade, OSHA's funding has slipped by 34.5 percent compared to the federal budget's overall growth. OSHA has fewer than 1,000 OSHA can get to every work site.

The important thing is getting to the work sites where safety is a problem and targeting our resources as effectively as possible and that's something OSHA is doing very well." It's something OSHA will have to do better if the current administration's budget request during April, But James Schroeder, an analyst with MMS International in Chicago, dismissed the report, saying, "most of that gain was based on future expectations, not based on hard-and-fast numbers" reflecting the current condition of the economy. Separately, the government said the nation's gross domestic product rose 2 percent in the first quarter, pretty much in line with expectations. Another report, which contributed to the mixed outlook, showed a sharp slump in single-family home sales for March.
