During 2022, the Division of Occupational Safety and Health Compliance conducted 997 inspections to ensure safety in our workplaces.
“These statistics are worth celebrating, but we also know there is always work to be done,” said Gov. Beshear. “I want to thank the 2023 Governor’s Safety and Health Award recipients for your continued safety awareness efforts. It makes a difference. Kentucky’s economy is booming and to ensure that success continues, we must make the safety of our workers a priority. Let’s keep up the great work.”
