Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)

yes

Both OSHA and NIOSH were created by the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970.

AR 385-10, Army Safety Program - Paragraph 1-5. General Army Safety Program responsibilities.

Anything under 50 volts of electricity is not considered a fatal level of electrocution, but, you should consult OSHA for more specific safety information regarding working with live electrcity.

OSHA does not specify that signs are required.

Yes. Any work related injury that requires more than First Aid treatment is an OSHA recordable injury.

OSHA does not establish dress codes.

OSHA requires the employer to assess the hazards of the workplace and to require the use of appropriate personal protective equipment if the hazard can not be eliminated by other means. This may include the prohibition of some types of clothes and jewelry and the required use of others, but each workplace will be different.

No.

If you mean setting up cones and signs, they must follow the Manual Uniform of Traffic Control Devices.

This is the Occupational safety & Health standard that addresses how an employer will communicate to workers what substances they work with that are safety/ health hazards- what it can do to you, fire fighting methods, first aid measures, protective equipment required, who made it, and transport safety classification. A material is hazardous if it can poison you, set you on fire, eat holes in you, cause birth defects, etc. Radioactive materials are not included (they have their own standards). It does not address food, beverages, cosmetics, tobacco, pharmaceuticals or pesticides. The standard also addresses labeling of containers. You may have seen one of the forms used in HAZCOM, the MSDS, or Material Safety Data Sheet which is one of the important training that workers, specially those dealing with hazardous materials must take up as it is one of their only tool to ensuring their own health and safety.

OSHA is concerned with employee safety, not with the color of paint being applied. So, no, OSHA does not have a brown paint specification.

Couple of different matters here- OSHA recordable, and OSHA reportable. An employer is required to report to OSHA any FATAL accident, or any accident that causes the hospitalization of 3 or more employees. Other injuries may be RECORDABLE, but are not reportable. If the worker has a medical restriction for more than the day of injury, it becomes a recordable. IF the healthcare provider returns the worker to duty, with "care not to aggravate the injury", that is not recordable as a day of restricted activity. If it is the employer's belief that this is NOT a work related injury, they may not be required to record it without other documentation. Do not confuse OSHA and Worker's Comp- two separate matters. If an employer believes an injury is not in the course and scope of employment, they may notify their Worker's Comp insurance carrier, or the State Industrial Commission, and contest the claim.

Shoring of a trench or excavation can cause a caught-between hazard.

An OSHA hazardous chemical is regulated because it is hazardous and people need to be able to protect themselves from the hazard.

A company would receive an OSHA citation if an OSHA inspector determined that the company was not in compliance with one or more OSHA regulations, and that determination was confirmed by the relevant OSHA Area Office and survived any appeals that were filed by the company.

And OSHA fine is an amount of money that must be paid by an employer because OSHA determined that the employer violated an OSHA regulation. Certain rules and regulation in the workplace and operations of sites such as construction sites were created by OSHA to improve safety of the workers. If they have found companies operating without being compliant to their rules, they give them penalties to pay for - something that is better than having to pay for someone's life.

If you are a supervisor or manager acting as a representative of the management of your company when you disregard safety rules enforceable by OSHA, OSHA can fine your company and issue citations.

If your disregard results in the death of an employee, OSHA can recommend that the Federal Attorney file criminal charges against your or your company.

If you are an employee but not acting as a manager of your company when you disregard safety rules that are enforceable by OSHA, OSHA can cite your employer and impose fines on your employer for failure to require you to follow the safety rules.

Bottom line, if you disregard safety rules, accidents will happen that will cause health and safety risks - injuries and fatalities and you will definitely get a lawsuit out of it.

OSHA has many guidelines for a variety of different situations. It would be necessary to specify the particular workplace or hazard before a more useful answer can be provided but basically, it has been made to ensure the safety of the workers and the pedestrians who could get affected with certain workplaces.

If 75mg diclofenac is a prescription medication and if it is given because of a workplace related condition, the condition may be an OSHA recordable event. Consult a specialist familiar with OSHA recording requirements and with the specifics of the situation. NEVER rely upon the information provided in a site like this one to determine whether to record an event on OSHA 300 form

Anyone can report to OSHA what they believe to be a violation of OSHA requirements, but only an employee can file a formal complaint with OSHA alleging that the employer has violated OSHA requirements. Complaints from non-employees are likely to receive less intense attention, unless they come from clearly knowledgeable healtha and safety professionals or relate to extremely hazardous situations.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) establishes OSHA standards using established administrative procedures and following formal publication of a proposed procedure and public hearings regarding the proposal.

Being "OSHA certified" doesn't mean anything. In fact OSHA doesn't give certifications to anybody. It means you took a 10-30 hour safety course.

It is referenced as Title 29 of the (CFR) Code of Federal Regulations.
