Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)

OSHA stands for Occupational Safety and Health Administration and is an agency of the United States Department of Labor. It was created in the early 1970s with the goal of preventing and minimizing work-related injuries, illnesses, and occupational fatality.

As OSHA has issued and enforced standards for workplace safety and health, it has cut down on the negative incidents. OSHA keeps up on safety by inspecting businesses whenever there are worker complaints or accidents. Businesses have increased their awareness of worker safety as a result and have trained their managers and workers to promote a safe environment.

There is no OSHA standard that establishes maximum weight of something being lifted, or the maximum wind speed when lifting.

Whether or not shorts should be worn is not a matter of OSHA requirements. It is a matter of risk in that environment. If an employee's exposed skin is at risk because of the operation he is doing, then he needs to cover it up.

I would venture to say that there are many jobs within manufacturing that could be done safely wearing shorts, and many that are too high risk.

What OSHA expects employees to wear is a function of employee exposure not fashion.

Sometimes!!! In the "OSHA Forms for Recording Work-related Injuries and Illnesses" last updated in 2004, it states that a recordable is any injury that is considered medical treatment beyond first aid. In the "What is first aid?" section it states that ,in bullet point 9 using an eye patch is first aid therefore non-recordable, in bullet points 10 and 11 if means of removal of a foreign body in any body part other than the eye is first aid, therefore if it is removed from the eye it is a recordable.

Yes, you have a right to file a complaint with OSHA regarding unsafe or unhealthful conditions in the workplace that are not being addressed by your employer.

But keep in mind that this may be regarded as whistle-blowing if you don't inform the company first (and give it an opportunity to correct the situation). OSHA also enforces protection for those who are discriminated against or retaliated against because they filed a complaint, but some believe that protections for whistle-blowers have eroded somewhat in recent times.

It is the employees' right to health and safety security in the workplace so if ever you are working in a place that is not OSHA compliant, be sure to make ways to be compliant.

OSHA has approved a few providers to give the OSHA 10-hour courses online. To get a list of approved suppliers, OSHA advises that an email inquiry be sent to outreach@dol.gov

OSHA does not have jurisdiction at private residences, only business and workplace environments. Residential building requirements are primarily the responsibility of local government, i.e. state or city government. That said, there are national organizations which develop standards, e.g. the National Fire Protection Association, and those standards are widely adopted by local governments.

You become an OSHA inspector by completing the Civil Service requirements for the job and being hired by OSHA. OSHA has its own training program for inspectors. Coming to the position with education in Occupational Safety and Health can improve your chances of being hired and also improve the grade into which you may be hired.

"OSHA training" is a process by which someone learns about the requirements contained in some portion of the OSHA standards and regulations. OSHA training programs such as the 10 hour and the 30 hour programs are designed to educate all of the workers about certain hazards at work and proper operating procedures. These are some of the secrets in making sure that all workers are safe during operations.

If the work restrictions result from an incident that is work-related under the OSHA definitions, then they may be OSHA recordable. Always consult a specialist who is familiar with both the OSHA regulations and the specifics of the incident.

If the strained groin is received in the course of employment, and if it results in days away from work or medical treatment beyond First Aid, it could be OSHA recordable. To be certain, consult someone who is familiar with both the specifics of the injury and its treatment, and the OSHA regulation.
