OSHA
Federal OSHA or, in states with a state OSHA program, state OSHA.
OSHA requires employers to practice universal precautions in order to reduce employees' risk of exposure to blood-borne pathogens.
OSHA does not have a specific standard for the spacing of balusters.
There is no such thing as a universal tool or universal product.
OSHA enforces the provisions of the Williams-Steiger Occupational Safety and Health Act and the regulations that have been issued under its authority. OSHA also enforces the whistle-blower provisions of numerous other laws, many of them not related to workplace safety and health.
There is no Part 1972.353 in the OSHA regulations.
OSHA does not cover workers, per se, as does an insurance company. OSHA enforces law requiring the work place to be safe.
An OSHA standard is a regulation issued by OSHA, after proper notice and comment, that sets a minimum requirement in some area of practice or activity over which OSHA has authority. Such a standard establishes a minimum level of safety in the workplace acceptable to society at large.
The universal OSHA number refers to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's identifier for its regulations and standards, which is often associated with its website or contact information for inquiries. OSHA does not have a single "universal number" for all purposes, but it is commonly represented by its main contact number, which is 1-800-321-OSHA (6742). This number can be used to reach OSHA for reporting safety concerns, asking questions about workplace safety regulations, or accessing resources.
States that have OSHA approved State Plans have six months after the adoption of a new federal OSHA standard to adopt an equivalent or more stringent standard of their own.
