OSHA Publishes New and Updated Materials on Worker Safety and Health

 

OSHA recently published new and updated educational brochures on a number of topics including workers' rights, employers' rights following an OSHA inspection, as well as how to protect workers from hazards in the construction, general and maritime industries. OSHA's Workers' Rights booklet describes the rights to which workers are legally entitled under the Occupational Safety and Health Act. The booklet, Employer Rights and Responsibilities Following an OSHA Inspection, reviews what happens after an inspection and is provided to employers during an OSHA inspection. The agency also recently published an updated Construction Industry Digest, a new Small Entity Compliance Guide for Respiratory Protection Standard, Laboratory Safety Guidance, as well as several new QuickCards.

 
Copies of these publications can be ordered by calling 1-800-321-OSHA or 202-693-1999, or can be downloaded from OSHA's Publications page (http://www.osha.gov/pls/publications).
