Attendees packed the National Safety Council's Learning Lab on Oct. 23 to hear in what areas employers across the United States have been failing at when it comes to safety.

Patrick Kapust, OSHA's deputy director, directorate of enforcement programs, announced the preliminary results for 2018 at the National Safety Congress in Houston.
