OSHA Questions


OSHA Question:
We received a letter stating we could be fined for not having an OSHA workplace safety poster displayed at our place of business.  The company offered to sell us a poster.  Should we purchase one of these posters?

 

Answer:
Covered employers are required to display an OSHA workplace safety poster. 
A free download of the poster in pdf format is available from OSHA - OSHA Safety Poster - OSHA 3165   Because of the special printing requirements for the pdf file, many employers prefer to purchase a durable commercially produced laminated version of the poster.

Information on ordering a pre-printed copy of the poster from OSHA is also provided at the link above. 

Note: If you plan to reproduce the poster, be sure to read the size and font requirements at the above link.

A Spanish version of the OSHA workplace safety poster is also available - OSHA 3167
