摘要

Small business fuels the American economy. According to the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), there are about 28 million such companies, which represent about 49 percent of private sector employment. The SBA defines a "small business" as an independent company with fewer than 500 employees. What are the unique safety challenges facing these employers? Does their size work for or against them when it comes to safety? What are OSHA's concerns, and how is the agency reaching out? Get the answers to these and other questions in this Compliance Report.
