Description
Workers have a right to a safe workplace. To this end, OSHA requires employers to take certain steps in order to create and maintain safe working environments. OSHA's requirements can be divided into two basic categories: 1. Making it safe to work, and 2. Making it safe to speak up. Construction sites, factories, power plants, and other worksites where workers might be exposed to electricity are inherently hazardous. Under OSHA law, employers have a host of responsibilities. That's what this program will cover. This content makes best practice suggestions regarding OSHA regulation 1910.331-333.
