Did You Know?

We are enhancing our Voluntary Protection Programs and other recognition programs to meet employers where they are to increase their pathway to safety. These programs help businesses strengthen their safety practices, reduce injury rates, and conduct regular self-evaluations – while minimizing the need for routine inspections. To further support employers, OSHA is increasing its efforts through the agency’s On-Site Consultation Program, which provides no-cost, confidential safety and health services for small and medium-sized businesses seeking to improve their workplace safety culture. Read more about how the Department of Labor can help your business.
