Federal review finds file problems but justification for withdrawal
Federal OSHA substantiated removal or alteration of state inspection-file material. It also found reasonable justification for withdrawing the willful citations because the evidence did not establish intentional disregard or plain indifference by the employer. The review recommended improvements to state documentation and legal-review procedures.
