This App may provide pertinent information to many of you regardless of business size. The app is a free tool that features checklists and other workplace safety and health resources for small businesses.
The app was developed by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and NIOSH and is based on the OSHA-NIOSH Small Business Safety and Health Handbook.
Some of the features include:
- Self-inspection checklists to help small businesses identify workplace hazards.
- Checklists were designed for general industry (manufacturing, retail, services, etc.), not for construction or maritime.
The Checklists include the OSHA Standards such as noise, recordkeeping, lockout tagout, ergonomics, hazard communication, and electrical safety for example. All of which are pertinent to general industry.
The resource may be helpful for use in your Safety Program and as an education tool for Safety Committees and Managers!
