OSHA launches compliance initiative

OSHA has launched the “OSHA Cares” initiative to help businesses comply with federal workplace safety requirements while also building stronger, more successful safety and health (S&H) programs for both employers and workers.

The agency-wide effort will provide employers with guidance and support aimed at ensuring that all employees return home safely following each shift. The OSHA Cares webpage offers practical, real-time insights and resources to help employers — especially small and medium-sized businesses facing unique challenges — improve S&H. Highlights include:

• Worksite assistance,
• OSHA’s Safety Champions Program,
• Small-business resources,
• Cooperative programs,
• Safe + Sound (recommended practices for S&H programs),
• Worker rights,
• Training resources, and
• Employer resources.
