The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has always been at the forefront of ensuring the health and safety of workers across various industries.
In October 2021, OSHA released preliminary data for the top 10 most-cited standards in fiscal year 2021. The data includes violations cited between Oct. 1, 2020, and Sept. 30, 2021. The preliminary data was presented at the 2021 NSC Safety Congress and Expo by Patrick Kapust, deputy director of the Directorate of Enforcement Programs at OSHA.
Each year following the publication of the top 10 list Eye on Safety takes a look at the list to see what has changed and also where workplace safety professionals might find areas for improvement in their own safety programs.

Each year, the ASA Safety Committee recognizes three wholesaler/distributor member companies and three manufacturing member companies for their high level of worker safety.
The purpose of an electrical safety policy is to provide a safe and healthy work environment by protecting employees from injury or death caused by uncontrolled electrical hazards.
