Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Standards

Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is charged with setting and enforcing workplace safety and health standards. Small businesses, particularly those in high-hazard industries or involved in hazardous operations, can use the free On-Site Consultation Service to help improve their safety performance. Safety and health consultants work with employers to identify workplace hazards, provide advice on compliance with OSHA standards, and assist in establishing safety and health programs. (23)
