Overview & Objectives
Every business requires an Occupational Safety and Health program (OSH) to identify how it will protect workers on the job. This program provides written documentation of the company’s safe work practices and should promote a culture of safety. The safety and health program must also comply with OSHA regulations and ANSI standards for training to ensure successful implementation.
