OSHA Resources

Over the years, OSHA has developed many helpful resources for employers. OSHA's website has a lot of safety and health information and links to resources that can help you.

Sample of OSHA quick card
OSHA offers many different "quick cards" for your reference.

For example, from the Home Page, you can:

  • Find information in Spanish from the OSHA en Espanol page.
  • Locate Fact Sheets and QuickCards by going to OSHA's Publications page.
    • OSHA Fact Sheets provide basic background information on safety and health hazards.
    • QuickCards are small, laminated cards that provide brief, plain language safety and health information for workers. For example, the image to the right shows part of a QuickCard for Aerial Lift Fall Protection.

You can contact OSHA by calling or visiting your local area or regional office for safety and health information or to discuss filing a complaint. Compliance Assistance Specialists in the area offices conduct many training sessions and have training materials and information that can be useful.

Open the Safety and Health Resources handout to find valuable links to more resources from NIOSH, universities, professional organizations, and unions.
