Office Safety (JJ)
Course Overview
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) takes safety very seriously. Under the General Duty Clause, employers are required to provide their employees with a workplace "free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm". Additionally, 29 CFR 1910 Subpart D states walking-working surfaces be "kept in clean, orderly, and sanitary conditions".
