HR Forum: Are you steering clear of OSHA's top 10 safety violations?

Are you steering clear of OSHA's top 10 safety violations?

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recently shared the 10 most frequent workplace safety violations for 2010 in a presentation to the National Safety Council.

Here are the 10 safety issues that made the list:

1. Scaffolding
2. Fall Protection
3. Hazard Communication
4. Respiratory Protection
5. Ladders
6. Control of Hazardous Energy – Lockout/Tagout
7. Electrical-Wiring Methods
8. Powered Industrial Trucks
9. Electrical – General
10. Machine Guarding

How safe and sound is your workplace? More important, what are you doing to build awareness and train your employees on proper safety procedures? With the right training resources, you can help prevent these top 10 safety offenses and avoid costly OSHA penalties.
