We cover the Occupational and Safety and Health Law of 1970 (OSHA) this week. This groundbreaking law took decades to become a reality, and its importance to safety and health of employees in the workforce cannot be underestimated. After researching the subject include in your response the following questions:
- Why was OSHA needed in the workplace? Provide some background on its history.
- Do you think OSHA is working and why?
- What type of OSHA training have you experienced in the workplace?
- Does your employee do all they can to provide a safe and secure working environment?
There is lots of information available on OSHA to review. Make sure you view the YouTube videos, Readings & Activities before you respond. If you can find any current and pertinent articles on OSHA, please share them with your classmates.
