New wallet cards available: "OSHA Reporting Requirements for Employers," "OSHA's Hazard Identification Training Tool," and "Whistleblowers: Work without Risk"



A new wallet-sized card, "OSHA Reporting Requirements for Employers," (PDF*) details the severe injuries employers are now required to report to OSHA. For employers in Federal OSHA states, the new reporting requirements go into effect on January. The card also explains how employers can report by phone, online and in person.

Another new wallet card, "OSHA's Hazard Identification Training Tool," (PDF*) advertises a new training tool from OSHA designed to educate businesses about the hazard identification process using realistic workplace simulations.

OSHA has also published a new wallet card "Whistleblowers: Work without Risk," (PDF*) to educate workers about their right to raise workplace safety and health concerns, to ask OSHA to inspect their workplaces, and to be protected from retaliation for exercising these rights. The card is also available in Spanish.

Publications are available to download at no cost by visiting OSHA's publications page. To order publications, contact OSHA's Office of Communications at 202-693-1999.
