Workplace Safety

Workplace safety should always be a priority, but it has so many moving parts, considerations, and changing rules that many companies aren't quite sure where to start. To help narrow your focus and find effective and efficient ways to keep employees safe, OSHA has released new rules on one crucial aspect of workplace safety: respirator-fit.

The rules set forth by OSHA give us a lot of required actions that every business needs to follow. And every year, the agency has a number of possible new rules that are assessed and then either rejected or accepted as new regulations. These possible actions go from the pre-rule stage, when no ruling has been made, to the rule stage and then to the final rule stage before they are accepted as OSHA workplace safety standards.
