To be eligible for a focused inspection, a contractor must not have what over the last two years?

A contractor must not have OSHA recordables over the last two years to be eligible for a focused inspection. This is significant because OSHA recordables refer to work-related injuries or illnesses that involve medical treatment beyond first aid, restricted work, or days away from work. A record of such incidents indicates a higher level of risk and potential safety concerns within the contractor's operations. Fewer OSHA recordables demonstrate an organization's commitment to workplace safety and effective hazard management, making them more likely to qualify for a more in-depth, focused inspection aimed at recognizing and reinforcing their safe practices.

Each of the other options relates to aspects of safety performance but does not specifically measure the same criteria for focused inspections as OSHA recordables do. High turnover may indicate workforce instability, lost-time incidents directly affect productivity and worker wellbeing, and safety training violations show gaps in compliance but don't necessarily reflect the overall injury rate that impacts eligibility for focused inspections.
