OSHA

OSHA refers to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, which takes its name from the Occupational Safety and Health Act. The administration is the governing body that sets the workplace safety standards by which every place of employment in the US must abide.

Unfortunately, some workplaces fail to uphold the obligations set forth by OSHA, and the people who work there suffer serious injuries as a result. If you were injured at work because your employer neglected to follow OSHA standards, contact the New Jersey workplace injury lawyers of Levinson Axelrod, P.A. at 800-346-5529.

OSHA Safety Regulations

OSHA has set many safety regulations since it was first established in the 1970s. In many cases, workplace regulations vary depending on the industry. However, the OSHA act contained a general duty clause that extends to all industries. These duties are:

  • Maintaining a reasonably safe workplace
  • Educating workers about workplace standards
  • Ensuring employees have access to safety and protective equipment

Workplaces that fail to uphold these standards along with the standards that apply to their respective industries may be found to be in violation of OSHA standards. Workplaces that are not up to standards put workers at a greater risk for injuries.

Workers who suffer injuries while on the job may be entitled to financial compensation.
