What are the OSHA Telecommunications Standards that I must know?
The Occupational Safety and Health Act applies to all private-sector employers/employees in the 50 states and all territories and jurisdictions under federal authority. Those with 10 or more employees or in high hazard (telecommunications is considered high hazard) have some specific requirements such as the OSHA 300 log. Telecommunications companies must follow the standards outlined in 1910.268. Look for a PowerPoint presentation that outlines the major areas that all telecommunications companies should have within a policy to adhere to the standard in the Education and Risk Management tab; go to PowerPoint Presentations and then to OSHA Telecommunications standards. Under the Safety Tips tab in this same section theres information on the OSHA 300 log too.
