OSHA and the
National Oceanic and the Atmospheric Administration are working together for
the fourth year to promote Hurricane Preparedness Week, May 25-31.
OSHA and NOAA
encourage employers to stay aware of weather forecasts, train workers on
workplace severe weather plans, and keep emergency supplies on hand, including
a battery-operated weather radio. Employers must also ensure that workers
involved in response and recovery are protected from potential safety and
health hazards.
OSHA provides
resources on workplace preparedness and response for severe weather emergencies
including hurricanes, floods and tornadoes, among others. Follow all of the
week’s activities on the National Hurricane Center’s Web page and visit
OSHA's Hurricane Preparedness and Response page for more
information on protecting workers from hurricane-related hazards.
