Draft Safety and Health Program Rule

DRAFT PROPOSED SAFETY AND HEALTH PROGRAM RULE 

What is the purpose of this rule The purpose of this rule is to reduce the number of job-related fatalities, illnesses, and injuries. The rule will accomplish this by requiring employers to establish a workplace safety and health program to ensure compliance with OSHA standards and the General Duty Clause of the Act (Section 5(a)(1)). 

Note In carrying out this paragraph (c)(2), the employer must comply with the National Labor Relations Act. 

Note Some OSHA standards impose additional, more specific requirements for hazard identification and assessment. This rule does not displace those requirements. 

Exemption Employers with fewer than 10 employees are exempt from the recordkeeping requirements of this rule.
