Under the OSH law, employers have a responsibility to provide a safe workplace. This is a short
summary of key employer responsibilities:
· Provide a workplace free of seriously recognized hazards and comply with the OSH law standards,
rules and regulations.
· Analyze working conditions to ensure that they adhere to the OSHA requirements applicable.
· Ensure that employees have and use safe tools and equipment and that this equipment is properly
maintained.
Use color codes, posters, labels or signs to warn employees of potential hazards.
· Establish or update and communicate operating procedures so that employees comply with safety and
health requirements.
Employers need to have language protection instruction so vocabulary staff should understand it.
· Employers in the workplace with hazardous chemicals must develop and implement a written hazard
communication program and train employees on the hazards to which they are exposed and proper
precautions (and a copy of the safety data sheets must be available readily). See OSHA Compliance
Threat page Provide medical examinations and training when required by OSHA standards
