As our savvy readers know, OSHA’s reach has grown far beyond the factory floor, largely because of the pandemic. The Biden administration is adding money for more investigators, which will also help OSHA’s reach. OSHA has emerged as the leading agency enforcing infectious disease protocols in the workplace. We have heard from clients recently who have had surprise visits from OSHA. With COVID and its variants still plaguing many areas, do not expect OSHA to go away anytime soon.
This week marks OSHA’s annual Safe & Sound Week, which is aimed at educating all employers to have workplace health and safety programs in place. Check out the website to see the resources that are offered. These programs identify hazards before injury or illness, help keep your employees safe, and improve your overall bottom line.
Need more help than the OSHA website provides? We have worked with countless clients to develop Infectious Disease Preparedness and Response Plans to ensure compliance. We have fixed fee options we tailor for your workplace to keep you on the right side of OSHA. When OSHA comes knockin’ our clients are rockin’ –their inspections!
