Printing industry hazards are addressed in specific standards for
the general industry. This page highlights OSHA standards, Federal Registers (rules, proposed rules, and
notices), and standard interpretations (official letters of interpretation of
the standards) related to the printing industry.
Section
5(a)(1) of the OSH Act, often referred to as the General Duty Clause, requires employers to "furnish to each of his
employees employment and a place of employment which are free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause
death or serious physical harm to his employees".
Section 5(a)(2)
requires employers to "comply with occupational safety and health standards promulgated under this Act".
| Note: Twenty-four states,
Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands have OSHA-approved
State Plans and have adopted their own standards and enforcement policies. For the most part, these States
adopt standards that are identical to Federal OSHA. However, some States have adopted different standards applicable
to this topic or may have different enforcement policies. |
