OSHA has announced a new interactive
webtool that will help small businesses identify and correct hazards in the workplace.
The tool allows employers and workers to explore how to identify workplace
hazards in the manufacturing and construction industries and address them with
practical and effective solutions.
"Hazard identification is a critical
part of creating an injury and illness prevention program that will keep
workers safe and healthy on the job," said Assistant Secretary of Labor
for Occupational Safety and Health Dr. David Michaels. "This new tool not
only educates employers about how to take control of their workplaces and
protect workers, it also demonstrates that following well-established safety
practices is also good for the bottom line."
For more information see the press release, blog and trailer. The hazard identification training tool can be found
on OSHA’s website at www.osha.gov/hazfinder.
