Top 10 OSHA Citations What Are They and How Do I Avoid Them

With thousands of OSHA Standards, many employers find the rules are too numerous to memorize, not to mention they are often difficult to decipher and implement. Each year, OSHA publishes a list of “Top Ten Most Frequently Cited Standards” in an effort to alert employers about the most common standards the agency has issued citations for violative conditions. 

The hope is employers will learn from reviewing these most common ("Top Ten") cited standards, and take steps to correct and abate the hazards associated with these of standards, before an issue occurs and OSHA conducts a site visit. 

OSHA officials and safety professionals alike believe that most injuries and illnesses that occur in the workplace are preventable, if compliance is met. In this presentation we will address OSHA’s “Top Ten Most Frequently Cited Standards" and discuss simple methods employers can take to create and maintain a safe and compliant workplace.
