Book Description
This publication provides a general overview of a variety of standards related topics. This publication does not alter or determine compliance responsibilities which are set forth in OSHA standards, and the Occupational Safety and Health Act. Moreover, because interpretations and enforcement policy may change over time, for additional guidance on OSHA compliance requirements, the reader should consult current administrative interpretations and decisions by the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission and the courts.This guidance document is not a standard or regulation, and it creates no new legal obligations. It contains descriptions of mandatory safety and health standards. The Occupational Safety and Health Act requires employers tocomply with safety and health standards and regulations promulgated by OSHA or by a state with an OSHA-approved state plan. In addition, the Act's General Duty Clause, Section 5(a)(1), requires employers to provide their employees with a workplace free from recognized hazards likely to cause death or serious physical harm.Material contained in this publication is in the public domain and may be reproduced, fully or partially, without permission.
