The Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) provides American small businesses with various resources that can be used to create a safe workplace for employees. However, not many CEOs or employees are aware of what programs are available to them.
To find out more about how federal safety agency officials can help to ensure a company's compliance with OSHA and help reduce the likelihood of a fatal or nonfatal accident, continue reading the article below:
1) Compliance Assistance Specialists (CAS)
According to OSHA's website, each regional office has a Compliance Assistance Specialist. These workers answer calls for assistance from a range of businesses, primarily smaller ones. CAS help advance training resources and direct company CEOs to OSHA's website, which provides tons of information on, among other things, how to update OSHA logs and how to qualify for awards.
2) OSHA's Free On-Site Consultation Program
It's no secret that working in certain industries, like mining and construction, can present many risks to employees. Using the On-Site Consultation Program, employers can receive free tips about how to analyze trends and remediate hazards in the workplace. The benefit of taking advantage of this program is that it does not result in fines and citations should the business be found guilty of a health or safety violation.
3) Training and Education
Employers and employees have the opportunity to sign up for various training programs that teach them the importance of workplace safety and how to reduce deaths, illnesses and injuries while on the job. Many of these seminars are half-day and one-day seminars, which means that those attend don't have to be away from their office for extended periods of time.
