Description

What does OSHA require employers to teach new employees? What if a new employee gets hurt on unauthorized equipment or is exposed to toxic chemicals? Is the company liable?
 

It is incumbent upon the employer to provide proper training and make sure employees are certified before operating certain machinery or exposed to toxic chemicals. OSHA guidelines stipulate that employers furnish conditions for workers that are free of known dangers. Educating employees on these dangers is the employer’s responsibility.
