On April 28, 2015, OSHA unveiled a new version of its “Job Safety and Health – It’s The Law!” poster. All employers–no matter how small–must display the poster in a conspicuous place where workers can see it.
The newly designed poster informs workers of their right to request an OSHA inspection of their workplaces, receive information and training on job hazards, report a work-related injury or illness, and raise safety and health concerns with their employer or OSHA without being retaliated against. The poster also informs employers of their legal obligation to provide a safe workplace. In addition, it has been updated to include the new reporting obligations for employers, who must now report every fatality and every hospitalization, amputation and loss of an eye.
