Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)

OSHA develops standards based on its own initiative or in response to other government agencies or nationally recognized organizations.

First they issue a request for information or an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPR), then a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPR). At several points they will hold public hearings and have Public Comment Periods when any member of the public can comment on a proposed rule. Then they decide whether or not to issue a new or revised rule (standard) and publish a notice in the Federal Register announcing the decision, responding to public comments, giving the full text of the rule and listing dates by which parts or all of the rule will come into force after the publication date.

There are really no requirements. Virtually anyone, even those instructors who may be technically incompetent to provide instruction, are permitted to identify themselves are "OSHA Trainers" or other such language. The quality of the training, however, may carry vicarious liability for the trainer. In the event of injury or criminal prosecution of a student or participant of an "OSHA Class" the trainer may share both civil and criminal liability if they have provided technically incompetent instruction.

No. OSHA is a U.S. regulatory agency and has no authority in other countries.

The country of Trinidad and Tobago has its own laws and agencies to deal with occupational safety and health. The Occupational Safety and Health Division of the Ministry of Labour performs inspection and enforcement functions for Trinidad and Tobago.

OSHA is the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, a regulatory agency in the US Department of Labor. The Arizona Department of Safety and Health is an agency of the state of Arizona. Both agencies, however, target to increase the health and safety in different types of workplaces and occupations. They are one of the reasons on why and how the number of injuries in Arizona (and the whole country for OSHA) are decreasing every year.

OSHA is Occupational Safety & Health Administration and all of the information can be found from the official site and under the search tag of regulations.

Maybe. An OSHA recordable injury is one that involves death, lost workdays, restricted workdays, and medical care that goes beyond first aid. If stepping on the nail meant you lost days from work, or your foot became infected and required medical care, it may be a recordable. If you went to the doctor, and he gave you a tetanus shot, and you returned to work your next scheduled workday, that may NOT be recordable. (A tetanus shot is a PREVENTION, not a treatment)

OSHA does not approve equipment or tools of any sort.

No, this is one big reason they like to get out of America so they can exploit labor.

Creating a safe work environment is expensive and profits suffer.

Six feet

Versus no pants? Or a skirt??? Would depend on the type of job I would suppose. The rules would be posted at the job - or the employer will tell you what is expected / safe.

OSHA inspectors are required to have up-to-date training and experience in occupational hazard recognition and evaluation. Many times, this entails specific knowledge related to workplaces that may have complex hazards by way of machinery or particular processes. In less complex workplaces, special training is not required, but inspectors will still undergo documented training in order to evaluate hazards.

A cist is part of an OSHA recordable only if it resulted from workplace activity as part of your assigned job, and if it is considered to be a illness.

OSHA has no regulations on keeping personnel records. OSHA's requirements relate to records of exposure to hazardous agents, training records, and work-related medical records.

OSHA revisits VPP star sites approximately every 3 years but can go as long as 5 years if they have a long history of successful re-certification.

Written.

29 CFR 1910.147

The US Postal Service is the only federal agency that can be fined by OSHA because the USPS was having many workplace safety problems, advocates for workplace safety were concerned and were able to convince the US Congress to pass a law specifying that not only was the USPS subject to OSHA directly, but that OSHA was authorized to issue citations and fines, just as if the USPS were a private employer.

MOST workplaces that employe employees (people work for pay) in the US must comply with OSHA standards. Certain employers are exempt- very small businesses, government agencies, such as the Army and Navy, and employers that are regulated by other agencies (such as MSHA, Nuclear Regulatory Commission, etc)

The CDC is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a US government agency within the US Department of Health and Human Services. The CDC is primarily a research organization.

OSHA is the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, a US government agency within the US Department of Labor. OSHA is primarily a standards promulgating and enforcement agency.

Depending on the height.

Since the providing of oxygen is not a First Aid activity, if the other aspects of the event are consistent with OSHA recordability, then giving oxygen is treatment beyond First Aid and makes the event recordable.

There are more than we have room to list here- this is Answers.com, not OSHA.org. There are fall protection standards for walking and working surfaces in General Industry, in steel erection, scaffolding, ladders, underground construction, ship repair, longshoring, cranes, roofing, masonry, stairs, electrical transmission and more. The applicable standard is determined by the nature of the work being performed.

The OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) for Noise is 90 dBA taken as an average over an 8-hour working day. If large portions of the work day do not involve exposure to noise, the averaging results in permitting louder noise for shorter exposure times.

PEL .... Time Exposed during one day

90 ...... 8 hours
95 ...... 4 hours
100 .... 2 hours
105 .... 1 hour
110 ..... 30 minutes
115 ..... 15 minutes

Unprotected exposures over 115 dBA not permitted. All the above presumes no exposure over 90 dBA during the rest of the work shift.

In addition, if the daily average noise exposure exceed 85 dBA, each person likely to be so exposed must be part of a hearing conservation program involving training, periodic hearing testing, and availability of hearing protectors. A similar table as above applies, but beginning at 85 dBA for 8 hours and going to 80 dBA for 4 hours, etc. These levels presume no exposure over 80 dBA during the rest of the work shift.

(Note the no exposure presumption is different for Hearing conservation than for the basic PEL)

India is a sovereign nation and develops and follows its own standards for electrical safety.
