Knowledge is power, and when it comes to protecting your employees, it’s not different. Every year, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) publishes their most cited safety violations every year in hope that workplaces across the nation will take the necessary precautions to ensure standard compliance and reduce safety risks. The list varies only slightly from year to year, showing that despite the information being available, most businesses either don’t fully understand the OSHA standards, or they aren’t properly educated on how to take proactive steps to develop a comprehensive safety program for their operation.
