Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)

OSHA standards appear in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and are divided into different sections based on the industry or topic they relate to. These sections include general industry (29 CFR 1910), construction (29 CFR 1926), and maritime (29 CFR 1915-1919), among others. Each section is further broken down into specific regulations that address different aspects of workplace safety and health.

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.

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.
