OSHA Violations Attorney in Stamford

Serious Injuries Can be the Result

The Occupational and Safety Health Administration, or OSHA, has control over workplace practices in a number of fields. Their concern is ensuring the safety of employees and protecting them from injury. OSHA regulations are especially important on job sites where severe injuries can occur such as a construction site.

In 2010, OSHA discovered almost 100,000 code violations across the county, almost three-quarters of which were deemed serious. Many of these violations occurred on construction sites. An employer who is found to have violated OSHA protocols is subject to a heavy fine, work stoppage, and increased liability to injured workers. These violations are usually attributed to employers or employees attempting to save time or money by taking short cuts.

OSHA regulations require occupational training in:

• Managing commitment to safety and health
• Identifying and eliminating hazards
• Properly trained employees
• Planning for emergencies
• Recording and posting injuries and fatalities
