Enhanced Enforcement Program (EEP) Overview for Employers

The Enhanced Enforcement Program (EEP) aims to identify problematic employers across all OSHA offices, targeting those who attempt to evade repeat violations by relocating operations. The program highlights employers with a history of issues with OSHA, ensuring accountability within a three-year window for both fixed and mobile establishments. Automatic follow-up inspections and priority rankings for inspections are imposed on companies with severe violations. Features include nationwide coverage and scrutiny of EEP violations during any inspection, enhancing workplace safety standards.
