OSHA Fact Sheet: Safety and Health Requirements for New Businesses
The PDF holds this page's summary, my note and the link — one page you can keep or print.
What it is
Plain-language OSHA fact sheet covering what a brand-new employer must do: provide a hazard-free workplace, keep injury and illness records, post the required OSHA notice, train workers on hazardous chemicals, and where to get free on-site consultation help.
Why I recommend it
Read this before you hire your first employee. Most first-time founders miss the required workplace notice and the injury log, then get surprised later. The free OSHA On-Site Consultation program is the part almost nobody uses and everybody should.
