Annual dose of 1.52 mSv/year was the maximum acquired by an individual. An annual average effective dose range of 0.20-1.36 mSv was determined for all workers. The annual total collective effective dose was established to be in the range of 0.40-10.08 man-Sv. The 20 mSv annual limit for occupational exposure was not exceeded for monitored workers.

Every day, workers are maimed or die from workplace injuries or occupational illnesses.

This paper addresses this challenge through the lens of <i>strategic enforcement</i>. It examines how federal and state authority are designed to interact to ensure worker protection in this space, and focuses on what tools for deterring violations - many unrecognized or underutilized by worker safety agencies - are available to leverage the limited resources that inevitably constrain the agencies' reach.
