Explain what is covered by the OSHA law? Is work place violence covered by OSHA?

Do you think employers take OSHA requirements seriously?

Public Comments

1. Yes. Not taking Requirements seriously open companies up for very large lawsuits.
2. Yes - Employers take OSHA Law very serious. Severe consequences if they do not. While there are no specific regulations under OSHA for Workplace violence it is covered under the "General Duties Clause" which states in part: "Employers shall furnish to each employee a place of employment free from recognized hazards that are causing or likely to cause death or serious harm to employees".
3. Yes, it is covered. Information can be found at the reference to the specific rules and guidelines.
