The following is the list of most frequent citations by OSHA in the 12 months ended 9/30/11. The problem with compliance focused safety is that extra attention is given to items that are most visible. The total number of violations is quite small related to number of workplaces having these violation possibilities. Cowboy Safety is a holistic approach that views that specific workplace conditions are the most important issues.
