The article MN cited said the frequency of random inspections had nothing to do with it.
The frequency of random inspections isn't all that important, so long as they do occur. The randomness encourages voluntary compliance.
The problem was state level on site inspectors detected problems but didn't take enforcement action..
An agency spokesperson said the frequency of random inspections was not a factor.
Random inspections appeared to have little impact on 'encouraged voluntary compliance' at the Jarrett plant.
The state inspector non-compliance reports go into a federal database. It's up to federal agencies to take, or not take, enforcement actions.
Thanks, Joe.
