Depending on your specific Industry, OSHA can have different standards. There are a few things to keep in mind when complying with OSHA’s standards and rules:

  1. See what standards OSHA is citing in your industry
  2. Maintain injury and illness records and submit to OSHA electronically, if required
  3. Report all severe injuries and fatalities to OSHA within the specified timeframes
  4. Post OSHA's "Job Safety and Health: It's the Law Poster" in your workplace
  5. See a list of key employer responsibilities
