OSHA completes restructuring was announced on October 1, 2024 by the Department of Labor. This means that the regional offices total 10 adding Birmingham to its list. Today it now includes Boston, NYC, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Kansas City, Denver, San Francisco and Birmingham. Birmingham serves Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee and the Florida Panhandle. Now that OSHA completes restructuring it will now be closer to communities and increase the presence in the southeast region. This they hope will serve any complaints, hazards, fatalities and injuries that regularly occur.
It is also clear that OSHA is aware of the advancements of forklift safety systems in the market, and may begin to question why a forklift accident occurred especially with the technologies available. However, not all forklift safety systems are considered equal. For instance RFID vs AI-based technologies. RFID represents the wearables. This means every person that enters the facility must wear something in order to be identified. Where an AI-based system such as SIERA AI is intelligent. Each forklift acts as its own entity with the ability to identify a person or object separately.
