OSHA publishes new, revised materials on worker safety and health
OSHA has published new and revised information that explains workers' and employers' rights, as well as how to protect workers from hazards in the construction, general and maritime industries.
In addition to the recently released Small Entity Compliance Guide for Respiratory Protection Standard (reported in www.ishn last week), OSHA has issued a Workers' Rights booklet that describes the rights to which workers are legally entitled to under the Occupational Safety and Health Act. The booklet covers many topics, including rights provided under OSHA standards, filing a complaint with OSHA, whistleblower protections, and educational and training resources available.
