Introduction The Challenge of Making Work Safe
You're probably reading this book because you are responsible for ensuring the health and safety of workers at your company. Chances are you are an employer, safety professional, or just some unlucky overachiever who was so good at doing what you were hired to do that the boss figured you could probably work the same magic with "this safety compliance thing."
The responsibility of ensuring the health and safety of workers at your company also includes meeting workplace safety requirements as set forth by the Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
In an effort to protect the safety and health of every worker, Congress passed the Occupational Health and Safety Act on December 29, 1970. The Act requires every employer engaged in business affecting commerce to comply with OSHA regulations and to provide a safe and healthful workplace for his or her employees. These provisions of the OSH Act of 1970 are commonly known as the General Duty Clause and appear as follows:
a) Each employer
1) shall furnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment which are free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious harm to his employees;

2) shall comply with occupational safety and health standards promulgated under this Act.
b) Each employee shall comply with occupational safety and health standards and all rules, regulations, and orders issued pursuant to this Act which are applicable to his own actions and conduct.
Shortly after the OSH Act was signed into law, the Department of Labor formed the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to develop safety regulations, to inspect workplaces and to enforce compliance. One of OSHA's first official acts was to adopt a handful of existing national consensus standards from the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and provisions from the Walsh-Healy Act of 1936, which included health and safety standards for federal contractors.
