Description
OSHA formed a uniform and comprehensive provision for protection against workplace safety and health hazards. The Act includes all private employers, without exception. (Separate occupational safety and health programs cover federal, state and local employees in states with approved plans.) As per the "OSHA Compliance Manual", OSHA was created within the Department of Labor. A good safety program pays. Implementing a safety program that emphasizes these topics will improve a safety record, maybe not tomorrow or in two weeks, but certainly within a year or two. Everyone must believe in the safety program and have the conviction that accidents can be prevented.
