Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)

No. OSHA, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, is an agency of the US Federal government. It is part of the US Department of Labor and has authority only within the US or where the US exercises extraterritoriality, as on some military bases and in US embassies.

The legal intent of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Act is to ensure safe and healthful working conditions for employees by setting and enforcing workplace safety standards. Enacted in 1970, the Act aims to reduce workplace hazards and prevent work-related injuries and illnesses through regulations, education, and outreach. It empowers OSHA to inspect workplaces, investigate complaints, and impose penalties on employers who fail to comply with safety standards. Ultimately, the Act seeks to promote a culture of safety within the workplace.

No. OSHA applies to employers who pay employees to perform work. Volunteers are not covered, except for very limited coverage of volunteer fire fighters under one particular regulation.

depends

DOT (US Department of Transportation) standards have nothing to do with whether an incident is recordable under OSHA regulations.

Probably not - OSHA doesn't classify tetanus shots as medical treatment. However, this may depend upon whether or not being exposed to or working around dogs is part of your job - if a coworker brought a dog in on lunch break and you were bit by that dog, it is probably not recordable. If you are working in a dog daycare facility and were bit by a boarding dog, it may be recordable.

within the family, the child is judged by particularistic standards; that is , rules that apply only to that particular child.

The number of Physician's appointment is irrelevant to whether an incident is OSHA recordable. IF medical treatment beyond First Aid was administered, and the event meets the other criteria (work related, etc) then it is OSHA recordable.

Items recommended by OSHA are used to prevent hazards

Bloodborne pathogen standards include measures to protect workers from health hazards associated with exposure to blood and other potentially infectious materials. These standards typically require the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), implementation of universal precautions, proper disposal of biohazardous waste, and the provision of training for employees on handling and exposure risks. Additionally, employers must maintain an exposure control plan and ensure vaccination against diseases like hepatitis B for at-risk workers.

Yes, OSHA regulations require that forklifts be equipped with certain safety features, including lights. Specifically, forklifts must have a working horn, and additional lighting may be necessary depending on the operating environment, such as in low-light conditions. Proper lighting helps ensure visibility and safety for both the operator and nearby pedestrians. Always refer to the specific OSHA standards and guidelines relevant to your operation for detailed requirements.
