OSHA is coming. Are you ready?

All the new releases and reports coming out of OSHA are saying that the focus has changed from compliance to enforcement. You can debate or disagree all you like, but the fact is they are coming to a location near you. Everyone needs to review your safety processes, re-evaluate your hazard communication programs, ensure your employees are adequately trained in the safety issues that effect them, and get your supervisors on board with safety. Check your record keeping paperwork, and follow-up on your accident investigations. Now is a good time to review your safety manuals and incentive plans. Remember, anything that might keep an employee from reporting a near miss or accident, is not a good incentive plan, and will spark a closer look from OSHA when they visit. Let's make our working environments safer for everyone.
