34. Previous Next 34 Additions to list  Area offices will obtain and use additional data to identify and add establishments where serious injuries or fatalities related to these machines have occurred  Local information could include – IMIS/Workers’ compensation data – NIOSH/hospital admissions/discharge data – OSHA 200 log

35. Previous Next 35 Inspection Procedures  Scheduled I.A.W. firm  Once scheduled, IMIS data base will be searched for employer’s citation and fatality/accident history prior to opening conference  At opening conference, CSHO will inquire if any of this machinery is present in the workplace
