Study Notes

OSHA Responsibilities

OSHA's primary responsibilities include encouraging employers and employees to reduce workplace hazards, providing research in occupational safety and health, and developing new and improved safety and health standards.
OSHA also maintains a reporting system for work-related injuries and illnesses and trains personnel in occupational safety and health.

OSHA Coverage

OSHA regulations cover most private sector employers with one or more workers in all 50 states and US territories.
Self-employed individuals, family members running farms, and domestic workers are not covered under OSHA rules.

OSHA Inspections

OSHA requires a warrant to enter a workplace for inspection (Marshall vs. Barlow case).
Inspections prioritize imminent danger situations, catastrophes, employee complaints, and programmed high-hazard inspections.

OSHA Citation Penalties

Penalties vary depending on violation type, seriousness, and whether the violation has been abated.
Monetary fines range from $15,625 per violation to $156,259 for wilful or repeated violations.
Timely abatement of violations can mitigate penalties.

Employer Rights and Responsibilities

Employers have the right to examine workplace conditions for compliance with standards.
They must minimize hazards, use warnings on safety hazards, and provide training as required by OSHA standards.
Employers are responsible for maintaining OSHA-required records and providing employees with access to medical records.

Employee Rights and Responsibilities

Employees have the right to review and understand OSHA workplace posters.
They must follow safety rules, properly use safety equipment provided by employers, report hazards to supervisors and the OSHA administration if employers fail to correct hazards.
