OSHA's Spin on Safe Work Practices
Safe work practices include your company's general worksite rules and other operation-specific rules. For example, even when a hazard is enclosed, exposure can occur when maintenance is necessary. Through established safe work practices, employee exposure to hazards can be further reduced.
Depending on the type of industry and the operations, work practices for specific OSHA standards or to recognize hazards may be required.
Some of these specific areas include:
- Respiratory Protection [29 CFR 1910.134]
- Lockout/Tagout [29 CFR 1910.147]
- Confined Space Entry [29 CFR 1910.146]
- Hazard Communication [29 CFR 1910.1200, 29 CFR 1926.59]
- Bloodborne Pathogens [29 CFR 1910.1030]
- Hearing Conservation [29 CFR 1910.95]
- Laboratory Chemical Hygiene [29 CFR 1910.1450]
This list is not all-inclusive. Refer to the specific OSHA standard for information and guidance on the required elements for these individual programs.
