Keeping up with OSHA compliance can be a full time job.
OSHA essentially requires three things from employers: to furnish a workplace free of hazards, compliance with OSHA standards on a daily basis and those with 11 or more employees must keep a detailed log and supplemental records when an accident or injury has occurred on the job. However, do you know if your record log is sufficient in the event of an OSHA audit or site visit? Instead of trying to keep track of the changes and additions to OSHA law themselves, some employers chose to hire a Certified Safety Professional to help ensure they are in full compliance with the vast number of individual regulations set forth by OSHA.
