OSHA
Reps May
Audit Office Space
The
OSHA audit that begins today will primarily focus
on labs, shops, and mechanical areas. However,
office space may also be audited during their
visit. As such, employees are encouraged to inspect
their work space to identify any safety issues,
such as obstructions to emergency exits, trip
or slip hazards, electrical equipment and cords,
or ergonomic practices. Staff should also be familiar
with how safety communication is received, who
their safety coordinator is, how to obtain safety
training, and how to report emergencies, safety
hazards, and work-related injuries. Visit the
EH&S “Who
to Call” web site to identify your division’s
contacts.

Building
51B
