OSHA Releases New Resources for Chemical Safety

摘要

Every year, tens of thousands of workers become sick or die from exposure to hazardous chemicals on the job. OSHA has introduced two resources to help employers protect workers against these exposures. The first is an online tool kit to help employers and workers identify hazardous chemicals and transition to using safer chemicals. The kit outlines a seven-step process for finding, comparing and selecting alternatives to dangerous chemicals. It offers in-depth explanations for each step, provides examples and additional resources, including corporate success stories and a short introductory video featuring OSHA Administrator David Michaels.
