Small business owners want to ensure their workers go home safe and healthy at the end of the day. However, small businesses tend to experience higher rates of workplace injury and illness than larger businesses. The volume of safety and health information, regulations and guidance can feel overwhelming, and many of the topics can be complex.
With the updated OSHA-NIOSH
Small Business Safety and Health Handbook, small business owners have access to self-inspection checklists to support safe practices in the workplace.
Our January 19 webinar,
Updated OSHA-NIOSH Small Business Safety and Health Handbook: Making Workplaces Safer, had experts from OSHA, NIOSH/CDC and AmTrust share useful workplace safety information for employers in general industry sectors. They also explained how to access their organizations' free resources and services available to small business owners.
The webinar shared how utilizing the
Small Business Safety and Health Handbook as part of your workplace safety program will help you to:
- Quickly identify and resolve workplace hazards
- Reduce costs for workplace injuries
- Understand where to get help and what resources are available at no cost
