A Checklist outlining a covered employer's key responsibilities under the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations. It describes general duties, postings, programs, training, employee communications, recordkeeping, and other legal requirements, as well as best practices to help employers provide a safe workplace. This Checklist is particularly useful for small businesses and startup companies who need to become familiar with their basic workplace health and safety responsibilities. This Checklist discusses federal requirements but is useful for employers in states that have an OSHA-approved state plan.
