OSHA Instruction : Severe Violator Enforcement Program (SVEP)
Other Available Formats
Overview
This Instruction establishes enforcement policies and procedures for OSHA's Severe Violator Enforcement Program (SVEP), which concentrates resources on inspecting employers who have demonstrated indifference to their OSH Act obligations by committing willful, repeated, or failure-to-abate violations. Enforcement actions for severe violator cases include mandatory follow-up inspections, increased company/corporate awareness of OSHA enforcement, corporate-wide agreements, where appropriate, enhanced settlement provisions, and federal court enforcement under Section 11(b) of the OSH Act. In addition, this Instruction provides for nationwide referral procedures, which includes OSHA's State Plan States. This Instruction replaces OSHA's Enhanced Enforcement Program (EEP). Significant Changes from the Enhanced Enforcement Program (EEP) include: High-Emphasis Hazards are targeted, which include fall hazards and specific hazards identified from selected National Emphasis Programs. The Assistant Secretary has determined that Nationwide Inspections of Related Workplaces/ Worksites are critical inspections for the purpose of 29 CFR 1908.7(b)(2)(iv). Creates a nationwide referral procedure for Regions and State Plan States.
