On July 29, the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health issued an updated Small Business Safety and Health Handbook to further provide small business employers with workplace health and safety information.
The handbook includes resources, such as the benefits of implementing a health and safety program, OSHA-approved state-specific plans, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health resources and OSHA tools.
Additionally, the handbook includes self-inspection checklists for employers. However, the handbook emphasizes that the checklists “are intended for general industry workplaces, but not for construction or maritime industries.”
The updated handbook and additional state health and safety plans can be found on the OSHA website.
