OSHA’s safety standards are the rules that outline the methods that employers must employ to ensure the safety of their employees. The standards created by OSHA limit hazardous chemical exposure, and require employers to monitor other hazards in the workplace. Employers must keep records of workplace injuries and illnesses and use safe practices to try to prevent them. In addition, employers must comply with the General Duty Clause that requires them to keep their workplace free of serious recognized hazards. Usually, this clause is cited when there is no specific standard to apply to a hazard in the workplace.
