All About OSHA

Thanks for visiting

If you have been to this site before, I am sure this is a big surprise. (No, it is not an April Fools joke) After ten years online as an e-commerce website providing training and compliance programs, I have decided to make a change and convert All About OSHA to a blog. To best understand the back story, my reasons for switching formats, the new 2010 OSHA Guide, and what to expect in the future, I suggest you start with the following links:

• About – Includes information about me and the history of All About OSHA.
• Terms of Service – Legal disclaimers & terms of use blog content.
• Privacy Policy – I bet I hate spam more than you. I don’t spam.
• Site Map – A fast way to get a big picture look at what’s offered here.

How to use the blog

The blog was designed to help companies understand the most commonly cited OSHA regulations. Starting May 3rd, 2010 April 12th, 2010, and every other week thereafter, I will cover a different safety topic. Each weekday, I will break content into bite sized chunks and discuss the step you should take at your workplace:

• Monday – Introduces the safety topic of the week with a self assessment checklist.
• Tuesday – Covers OSHA regulations for the topic and key points to comply with.
• Wednesday – Provides a brief toolbox training guide for your employees.
• Thursday – Provides a customizable PowerPoint training template on the topic.
• Friday – Shares a quiz to test your employees and document completed training.

That is a lot of content. Every company has different compliance needs. It is my hope that at least one of the topics covered each month will apply to your organization.

It is that simple. I believe asking the right questions, and small, simple improvements made every day is the best way to improve the safety and health of your workplace. This approach allows you to slowly change the safety and health culture of your organization and constantly reminds your employees to work safe!

The 2010 OSHA Guide and Model Safety Program

The weekly content provided in this blog is designed to be used with a management system that is laid out in my upcoming 2010 OSHA Guide and Model Safety Program. (Available for download starting May 10th, 2010) The OSHA Guide helps you determine which OSHA regulations are applicable to your organization. The Model Safety Program provides a framework for assessing your workplace, developing controls and policy to protect your employees, and methods to measure and document the results of your efforts. Why reinvent the wheel. My downloadable guide will share with you everything you need to build your safety program.

I am looking forward to providing you with answers to your compliance questions. I hope you visit often and provide me feedback on ways to constantly improve your experience here.
