Safety Management and OSHA Compliance

[John Robinson]

Why is Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) compliance necessary? For a simple reason: OSHA compliance is the surest legal way of ensuring safety at the workplace. Safety management and OSHA compliance go hand in hand and are deeply connected to and intertwined with each other. Safety management is at the core of OSHA and is the very purpose for which OSHA regulations were legislated. This is why safety management and OSHA compliance are so strongly related to each other.

OSHA has regulations for ensuring the safety of workplaces in almost any industry that one can think of. Compliance with these regulations is necessary for not only ensuring the safety of workers at the workplace; it is also necessary to avoid paying hefty fines that noncompliance results in. knowledge of safety management and OSHA compliance and the way they work is crucial for any company for these core reasons:

• Violation of any relevant OSHA regulation leads to high penalties in the form of fines. Such an organization can also expect to face suspension of their activities

 

• A safety management program as part of OSHA compliance ensuresthat the organization cuts down on its costs significantly

 

• More than anything else, an organization that violates the provisions and requirements of OSHA can become responsible for employee injuries and even death at the workplace. Such an organization faces additional costs. Its production capabilities suffer, leading to delayed output.
