What is OSHA?
The U.S. Department of Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is a federal agency that oversees workplace safety. All employers are required to provide a safe and healthy workplace and are subject to safety and health inspections by OSHA without prior notice. Employers with more than ten (10) employees are required to maintain a record of injuries on the OSHA 200 form, which must be made available for inspection for a period of five years. For more information about workplace safety and OSHA requirements, contact the Florida Department of Labor Occupational Safety and Health Administration at 954-424-0242, 8040 Peters Road, Building H-100, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33324.
