Worksite Safety 01: OSHA Safety Introduction

The mission of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is to send every worker home whole and healthy every day. Since the agency was established in 1971, workplace fatalities have been cut by 62 percent and occupational injury and illness rates have declined 40 percent. At the same time, U.S. employment has nearly doubled from 56 million workers at 3.5 million worksites to 115 million workers at nearly 7 million sites.  This 1-hour interactive online course is an orientation to occupational safety and health for workers, including OSHA's role in standards development, implementation and enforcement, as well as the specific rights and responsibilities of workers and their employers.  And while workers may need additional training based on OSHA standards and the specific hazards of their jobs, RedVector’s Worksite Safety courses can help inject entry-level workers with critical knowledge on a variety of OSHA-regulated safety and health topics.
