The Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA)
U.S. Department of Labour
In 1970, the U.S. Congress established the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). As defined in its enabling legislation, OSHA's mission is to "Assure so far as possible every working man and woman in the Nation safe and healthful working conditions."
This mandate involves the application of a set of tools by OSHA (e.g., standards development, enforcement, compliance assistance) which enable employers to maintain safe and healthful workplaces.
The FleetWatch Systems- Blueprints® for Safety brand of programs provide more than just safety training. Each program focuses on safety as a process and provides a "blueprint" that can be followed step-by-step to develop, implement, and evaluate a comprehensive safety or ergonomic program that will provide best safety practices and comply with OSHA standards.
Both experts and those with limited knowledge about safety issues benefit from the simple, yet comprehensive approach of Blueprints for Safety.
Compliance with OSHA requires:
- Written programs
- Monitoring
- Employee training
- Recordkeeping
Although the Blueprints for Safety was originally designed for U.S. employers, the general principles and
practices addressed in each program are also relevant to the Canadian workplace and safety standards.
Fleetwatch Systems Blueprints for Safety makes compliance a simple step-by-step process.
