| Compliance
Assistance Quick Start |
|
Are you ready to learn more about how to prevent workplace
injuries and illnesses and comply with the Occupational Safety and Health
Act, but aren’t sure where to start? By following this step-by-step guide,
you can identify many of the major OSHA requirements and guidance materials
that may apply to your workplace. Small and new businesses may find Quick
Start helpful as an introduction to the compliance assistance resources on OSHA's website.
This Quick Start feature is not comprehensive – there
may be additional OSHA standards and guidance materials that also apply to
your business. If you are in a state with an
OSHA-approved state program, you are subject to state occupational
safety and health regulations that may have more stringent or supplemental
requirements. These state programs also provide compliance assistance
services. Please contact your state program for additional information.
In addition, you can
request a free, confidential on-site consultation from the
OSHA
Consultation Program.
Please read this DISCLAIMER
before proceeding.
