OSHA has issued a guideline that should help industry employers develop proactive programs to keep their workplaces safe. The recommended practices should be helpful to small and medium-sized contractors who may not have safety and health specialists on staff. This is a wonderful tool that can be used as a guideline to prevent work-related injuries, illnesses, and deaths, as well as financial difficulties these events can cause for workers, their families and their employers.
