Steps to Comply with the OSHA Regulations

In 1970, the U.S. passed the Occupational Safety and Health Act for regulating safety at work places. It is the responsibility of the business owner to provide their employees safe and hazard free working environments and look after their well being and safety. To comply with all the OSHA standards, all the major companies carry out the annual OSHA training for their employees.

Step 2: As a worker read the offered OSHA information. Comply with the standards laid down by OSHA by following the regulated health and safety rules and wearing the appropriate personal protective equipments.

Step 3: Know all the different chemicals you will be exposed to. Keep in mind all the safety regulations for your area.

Step 4: Keep in mind and follow all the safety work practices required for your job. Your employer will guide you on these regulations.

Step 5: Report the hazardous conditions to the employer. If no measures are taken, contact OSHA.
