What this funds

OSHA projects 36.36 million website user sessions in FY 2026, and the agency anticipates a slight increase to 36.72 million website user sessions in FY 2027. OSHA also expects downloads to increase slightly from 4.24 million in FY 2026 to 4.28 million in FY 2027. The number of website page views is anticipated to grow from 99 million in FY 2026 to 100 million in FY 2027. In FY 2027, OSHA will continue to leverage injury and illness data to inform strategic and operational decisions. High-quality injury and illness data will serve as the gold standard when conducting and assessing the effectiveness of agency enforcement, compliance assistance, outreach, standards and guidance, and other efforts. Additional resources will support standardized collection, cleaning, coding, analysis, and communication of injury and illness data across OSHA's Injury Tracking Application (ITA), Severe Injury Report (SIR), and OSHA-inspected fatality data. In addition, OSHA will continue to transform its website into a more modern architecture, update the look and feel to a more modern design, and allow better quality data to be presented and used by the public while maintaining necessary privacy protections. Part of the transformation will be exploring and piloting solutions for providing OSHA enforcement data on the web in a machine-readable, user- friendly format. The agency will also revamp the OSHA Establishment Search on OSHA.gov, replacing outdated technology with a modern architecture that leverages Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and current data standards. OSHA will expand its development of interactive dashboards and APIs to provide stakeholders with near real-time access to enforcement, outreach, and injury data, supporting data-driven decision-making and improving transparency. In FY 2027, building on prior modernization efforts, OSHA will further adopt cloud-native technologies to improve scalability, security, and cost efficiency. The agency will also automate data lifecycle management for additional record types, reducing manual processes and ensuring compliance with record-keeping policies. In FY 2026, OSHA will continue to improve implementation of the Improve Tracking of Workplace Injuries and Illnesses final rule. OSHA will improve the useability of collected data for both internal and external data users, by using AI to redact Personally Identifiable Information and sensitive medical information and to auto-assign standardized occupation and Occupational Injury and Illness Classification System codes to the data. The ITA will also roll out new functionality to users to allow one simple upload with an employer's existing PDF forms package. In addition, the agency's Laboratory Modernization Project will shift from development to operations and maintenance, running all sample and equipment service lines on the single, modernized laboratory information management system (LIMS). This modernized LIMS will continue to decrease the potential for nonconformance with quality standards that could adversely affect the defensibility of OSHA citations. This LIMS also enables the Technical Support Equipment Standardization Project and posting and analysis of chemical exposure data. In FY 2026, OSHA will complete its transition to Amazon Web Services (AWS) Elastic Container Service, enabling fully cloud-native operations. As part of this broader effort to modernize infrastructure, OSHA will also begin migrating its intranet and extranet pages from the legacy OSHA - 83 SAFETY AND HEALTH STATISTICS SitePro platform to AWS, improving reliability, performance, and integration with other cloud services. OSHA will also deploy interactive dashboards and visualization tools for internal stakeholders, providing real-time insights into enforcement, outreach, and whistleblower trends. These tools will be compatible with the Department of Labor's API standards and support data- driven decision-making. In FY 2025, OSHA launched the State Plan Application (SPA) and retired the associated legacy system, which was cumbersome and more vulnerable to cyber threats and other degradation. Built on a modern architecture using a Commercial Off-the-Shelf application, the SPA facilitates monitoring with real-time user notifications and robust communication. This modernized platform also helps the agency manage its contacts and track communications with State Plans. In FY 2025, the Laboratory Modernization Project continued development and completed the transition of the legacy equipment service system to the single, modernized LIMS. OSHA also began posting chemical exposure data at an increased quarterly frequency to provide transparent, user-friendly, and accessible data for employers, workers, safety and health professionals, researchers, and the public.
