OSHA-Who are they?

Hybrid Session- join us in person or online!

Congress created OSHA to assure safe and healthful conditions for America’s working men and women by setting and enforcing standards and providing training, outreach, education, and compliance assistance. Under the OSHA law, employers are responsible for providing a safe and healthful workplace for their workers. Coupled with the efforts of employers, workers, safety and health professionals, unions, and advocates, OSHA, and its state partners have dramatically improved workplace safety.

During this OSHA session, we will discuss OSHA coverage, standards, enforcement, and the agency mission. Free OSHA handouts will be provided to all attendees and questions will be answered during this in-person event.

This OSHA session is a starting point for the new Strategic Alliance between the local Erie OSHA office and the Gannon University and Clarion University SBDC memberships to educate small businesses about federal regulatory requirements and would appeal to any safety & health professional, human resource official, or company management representative.
