OSHA Program
I found on OSHA's website that they support/provide a program that gives free consultation at high-risk work places (i.e. with high hazards or exposures). They support this for small businesses and their team members will go to the work place to give recommendations for improvements so that the business will not get fined by OSHA and to further ensure worker safety. Sounds like these services are for new/developing businesses which is great so that they can learn how to be more safe, especially if they grow! This does not really apply to me/my health/my work. I also found on the OSHA website a zone for young workers where it talks about their rights and how to safely handle equipment in different work environments. This portion of the website is very kid friendly (language use, colors, etc.) and is helpful for my health since there are a lot of youth who work in industries that I am involved in (restaurants, coffee shops, retail stores). I also work indirectly with youth and could use this knowledge to tell them about their rights/refer them to this site.
