Welcome to the OSHA Hazard Awareness Advisor
The OSHA Hazard Awareness Advisor is designed to help general industry
employers and workers identify possible safety and health hazards in their
workplace, and to direct users to OSHA standards addressing those hazards. It
should be particularly helpful to small employers without the means to hire
safety and health professionals to evaluate their workplace.
Employers of workers engaged in construction, agriculture and maritime
industries are covered by other OSHA regulations. While users in those
industries might benefit from using the Advisor, it does not directly address
conditions in those industries nor does it identify OSHA regulations covering
those industries.
The Department of Labor developed the elaws
Advisors to help employees and employers understand their rights and
responsibilities under numerous Federal employment laws. Each Advisor
includes links to more detailed information that may be useful to the
user, such as links to regulatory text, publications and organizations.
