Worker & Employer Rights Explained in OSHA Pubs


OSHA has published several new and revised documents that inform workers and employers of their rights, and provide information on how to protect against workplace hazards. Documents include:
  • Small Entity Compliance Guide for Respiratory Protection Standard, which provides checklists and a step-by-step guide to help small businesses better understand OSHA’s respiratory protection standard;
  • Workers’ Rights booklet, which describes workers’ rights under the OSH Act;
  • Employer Rights and Responsibilities, which explains rights, responsibilities and inspection information.
Other publications include information on laboratory safety, aerial lifts, permit-required confined spaces, trenching, nail gun safety and heat stress.
