OSHA: Occupational Safety and Health Administration Standards

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is a world leader in establishing Health and Safety standards. As a result, in order to stay current and proactive, these standards must be understood and applied. Personnel who adhere to these standards will improve performance and thus increase the company's profitability.

It is necessary to revisit and examine the standards from time to time in order to both refresh and stimulate personnel to greater and more accurate application of the standards.
