Ensuring Your Business Is In Compliance

The importance of OSHA compliance is critical. OSHA has had significant effects on workplace safety. Although U.S. employment has almost doubled, workplace fatalities have gone down by more than 65 percent since OSHA’s inception.

Compliance with OSHA regulations along with implementing your own well-designed safety program can save your business money. Accidents and injuries occurring on the job can result in major medical and legal expenses. Training your employees and having a program in place can prevent these costly incidents from occurring. Maintaining a safe environment for your workers rewards you with increased productivity and higher morale as well.

OSHA applies record keeping standards to most employers with more than 10 employees during the former calendar year. These employers must keep records on employee illnesses, injuries and fatalities. Other employers may be required to keep the records if requested to do so by OSHA, state health and safety offices, or the Bureau of Labor Statistics. All incidents with fatalities or hospitalization of three or more staff must be reported. OSHA analyzes these records to identify workplace hazards and improve its programs.
