OSHA: Occupational Safety and Health Administration Standards

Introduction

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is a world leader in establishing Health and Safety standards. As a result, in order to stay current and proactive, these standards must be understood and applied. Personnel who adhere to these standards will improve performance and thus increase the company's profitability.
