The Congressional Accountability Act directs the OCWR General Counsel to conduct occupational safety and health inspections of the legislative branch at least once each Congress, and to report the inspection results to congressional leadership and the Architect of the Capitol. This report summarizes the findings and trends from the occupational safety and health inspections conducted by the OCWR during the 112th and 113th Congress.
Due to funding reductions, the OCWR was unable to assemble and finalize the results of the 112th Congress until the end of the 113th Congress. Rather than issue a separate report for each inspection, as has been done in the past, the results for both inspections are contained in one report.
