OSHA and workplace safety - TodayOver 5,530 employees continue to die in the U.S. each year. OSHA has been in business for thirty-five years. Tips to avoid large OSHA fines and possible jail time. 1. Do not lie to a federal officer. Yes, the OSHA inspectors are federal officers. 2. Do not falsify federal documentation. Any documentation that you provide OSHA to "satisfy" the OSHA regulations, is federal documentation. 3. Knowingly placing an employee in a situation that would likely cause the death of the employee. Extensive resources are available to help companies comply. If you are serious about safety, call us today for assistance and create change in your workplace. We teach safety through education. Call 817-292-3060 What is worse than an Osha visit?OSHA coming to visit your company as a result of an employee death? Actually, that would be the easiest part of what is to come. The civil lawsuit by the dead employee's surviving family members would probably be much worse than the OSHA visit. These lawsuits are easy for the family to win when the company did not follow the federal laws mandated by OSHA. But what if the civil lawsuit was preceded by a criminal case. Remember, O. J. Simpson won the criminal case, but lost the civil case. The OSHA fines might seem like kid's play after you get through all of the lawyer meetings, depositions, scrambling for paperwork and documentation. You will put your business on the back burner simply to save yourself in court. Many times, the deceased employee may not have even worked for you. You may have put your employee in an establishment because you have a temporary contract to perform work for a company and your employee caused the death of another employee working for a different company. Who profits from your mistakes? The attorney's on both sides. You will probably wind up paying for both attorney's fees. Just before you go to trial, your attorney may recommend that you make an out of court settlement since your company did not comply with the federal regulations that will be used against you in court. Do not expect your defense attorney to be quick to tell you this, your attorney must first generate billable hours. No company can become OSHA proof; however, we can help you to determine which laws that you are likely to be violating. Afterwards, we can help you to develop, implement, and maintain an action plan to minimize your risk exposures. ABOUT USWe are a service and training provider.
