Tag: The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)

Safety issues have been one of the leading concerns among human resources (HR) professionals. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is the government organization that enforces laws and standards to ensure that companies are in compliance with the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 and its updates. OSHA can conduct inspections of companies and even halt their operations due to safety and health violations. In your assignment, please answer the following questions:

As an employee, what is your role in improving the safety and health conditions in a company?
Describe some recent examples of OSHA violations. What should have the company been doing to prevent them?

For this assignment, imagine that you were recently hired as the safety officer at a chemical manufacturing facility with over 1,000 different chemicals on site. The facility does not have a functioning hazard communication (HazCom) program. You determine that you need to start from scratch on the program. Provide a detailed approach for the steps you would take to develop an effective HazCom program for the facility. Your paper must at least address the issues listed below.

· What steps would you take to ensure you are in compliance with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) HazCom regulation?

· Which best practice steps would you include that go beyond compliance with the OSHA regulation to make the program more effective?

· Which employees at the facility would you use to complete the process?

· How would you conduct training after the initial steps have been completed?

· How would you make the safety data sheets (SDSs) available to employees?

· What procedures would you use to evaluate the effectiveness of the program?
