Safety and Health Topics Pages provide access to selected
occupational safety and health information. The subjects of these pages include
specific workplace hazards, as well as individual industries. Members of the
Editorial Boards evaluate numerous OSHA and non-OSHA references on a given
subject to determine which they consider most important in reducing occupational
injuries and illnesses. With the continued support of our users, editors, and
editorial boards, OSHA's Safety and Health Topics Pages provide assistance for
complying with OSHA standards, enabling employers to ensure safer workplaces.
