What Does OSHA Require From Employers?
The Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA), a division created by the Department of Labor, in 1970 to regulate workers’ safety guidelines. OSHA has set rules and regulations that employers must follow in order to provide a workplace that is free from recognized hazards. OSHA was established to keep employees safe while on the job!
If you have ever visited OSHA’s website, you know there is so much information posted regarding the different safety and health requirements employers must follow. Below are some key rules and regulations starting with the big 3 duties for employers:
1. Compliance with OSHA Regulations.
2. Examine workplace conditions to ensure compliance.
3. Provide a workplace free from recognized hazards.
Who needs an Injury, Illness and Prevention Safety Program?
Most companies are required by OSHA to have a set of written Safety & Health Programs. A written safety program is a custom set of documents, typically in a booklet form, that holds a company’s safety policies, procedures, checklists, training documentation and is compliant with OSHA regulations. Companies may need policies and procedures defined for Hazard Communication, Personal Protective Equipment Hazard Assessments, Emergency Action Planning and Blood Borne Pathogens (BBP). Additional topics will apply depending on the type of industry that your company is a part of. Construction companies may also need Fall Protection, Excavation, Electrical/Assured Equipment Grounding, Powered Hand Tools and Permit Required Confined Space Entry guidelines. Organizations that are classified as “General” industry might also need Control of Hazardous Energy or Lockout Tag out, Respiratory Protection and Hearing policy guidelines. These topics are some examples that may or may not be applicable to your company.
Every employer should be familiar with OSHA’s General Duty Clause. OSHA can issue citations for any safety hazard under the General Duty Clause. The clause requires employers to protect employees from any safety hazard they may encounter, including those that aren’t specifically listed in OSHA’s regulations.
