This authoritative reference helps human resources professionals and workplace safety officers comply with state workplace safety laws and regulations. It emphasizes practical methods of developing and implementing workplace safety policies and offers guidance on how to ensure that the workplace is in compliance with state laws and regulations. With recent developments in workplace safety regulation, including the focus on ergonomics, video display terminals, and regulation of home-workers, it has become apparent that workplace safety compliance must be a priority not only for manufacturing, construction, and industrial employers traditionally concerned with workplace safety issues but also for employers formerly unaffected by the application of workplace safety regulations to their operations. Employers with office or clerical staff may face citations for violating state workplace safety regulations. This guide organizes essential information in a ready reference form -- information necessary to ensure compliance with workplace safety regulations applicable to a broad range of businesses. Charts make it easy to locate information concerning one state's treatment of a particular issue or to compare the treatment required by several different states -- all on the same chart.
