What is the Importance of OSHA for Your Business?
by Jewellan Sing NY AttorneyOver the years, we come across many cases where business
owners had no idea about workplace safety requirements. Tremiti LLC has been in
business for many years now. Our OSHA
attorneys have guided many small and large enterprises about several OSHA
labels, recordkeeping, training requirements, and other essentials.
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) was
established following the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 to ensure
the safe and healthy work conditions for workers by setting and enforcing
standards that are necessary for employers to comply with.
Every year, thousands of employees lose their life and get
injured due to occupational accidents. In consequence, they have to spend many
days away from work and that costs heavily. OSHA laws protect the wellbeing of
workers as well as insist the employers be in compliance with workplace
standards.
Though your company operations might have not been involving
any stiff labor tasks or your business might be located somewhere where accidents
hardly occur, you need to understand the importance of OSHA for your business.
Tremiti is reputed labor and
employment law firm NYC that helps business clients in keeping the
workplace OSHA-compliant and assist clients who face an OSHA periodic inspection.
Employees are covered by OSHA
The OSH Act covers almost all employees working in the
private sector except those who are working for state and local government and
those who are self-employed. This coverage is provided through an OSHA-approved
state job safety and health plan. Our employment attorney NYC advises
and represents clients issued with any citation or imposed legal obligations
for violation of the general duty clause.
Employer responsibilities
As labor and
employment law firm we have guided many employers about their
responsibilities under OSH law that includes:
·
Keeping a record of injury and illness.
Employers with less than 10 employees or businesses such as real estate,
finance and retail are partially exempted from keeping injury and illness
records
·
They are required to post OSHA Form 300 in which
all work-related injuries and illness for the previous year are needed to be
filled by the employer

regulations regarding recognized workplace-hazards and safety
·
Providing medical examination and training
required by OSHA standards

There are many other requirements for employers that are officially
published on OSHA’s website. OSHA
