What is every employee's rights? OSHA has a poster that describes that. I've reprinted it here. Essentially every person working in the private sector is covered by OSHA or a state-run equivalent. The following is a text extract of the OSHA 3165 Publication. The official full color publication is a 12.5" x 17.5" portrait presentation in PDF format. If you would like to download a copy of the PDF version, please [RIGHT-Click Here] to save the file to your local workstation. You Have a Right to a Safe and Healthful Workplace. IT�S THE LAW! You have the right to notify your employer or OSHA about workplace hazards. You may ask OSHA to keep your name confidential. You have the right to request an OSHA inspection if you believe that there are unsafe and unhealthful conditions in your workplace. You or your representative may participate in the inspection. You can file a complaint with OSHA within 30 days of discrimination by your employer for making safety and health complaints or for exercising your rights under the OSH Act. You have a right to see OSHA citations issued to your employer. Your employer must post the citations at or near the place of the alleged violation. Your employer must correct workplace hazards by the date indicated on the citation and must certify that these hazards have been reduced or eliminated. You have the right to copies of your medical records or records of your exposure to toxic and harmful substances or conditions. Your employer must post this notice in your workplace. The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act), P.L. 91-596, assures safe and healthful working conditions for working men and women throughout the Nation. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration, in the U.S. Department of Labor, has the primary responsibility for administering the OSH Act. The rights listed here may vary depending on the particular circumstances. To file a complaint, report an emergency, or seek OSHA advice, assistance, or products, call 1-800-321-OSHA or your nearest OSHA office: � Atlanta (404) 562-2300 � Boston (617) 565-9860 � Chicago (312) 353-2220 � Dallas (214) 767-4731 � Denver (303) 844-1600 � Kansas City (816) 426-5861 � New York (212) 337-2378 � Philadelphia (215) 861-4900 � San Francisco (415) 975-4310 � Seattle (206) 553-5930. Teletypewriter (TTY) number is 1-877-889-5627. To file a complaint online or obtain more information on OSHA federal and state programs, visit OSHA�s website at www.osha.gov. If your workplace is in a state operating under an OSHA-approved plan, your employer must post the required state equivalent of this poster. 1-800-321-OSHA www.osha.gov � Occupational Safety and Health Administration � OSHA 3165 U.S. Department of Labor Read Safety Everyday's construction safety in the news sideblog. posted by Hal at 3:04 PM \| link \| \| \| Google It! \| Email This \| Sunday, July 18, 2004 Stuck? Get Unstuck! I read Fast Company cover to cover. Two months ago I was reading the June issue. One of my favorite sections is the book reviews. The editors present five books. Readers pick a favorite then the editors do an interview with the authors. My favorite from June was UNSTUCK by Keith Yamishita and Sandra Spataro. Somehow I set aside this posting. When I opened the August issue I immediately went to the book reviews. UNSTUCK was selected as the readers' choice. (Want to read the issue online? Go to www.fastcompany.com/heyword/fc85. Access code is 'FCAUGUSTBEZOS'.) I kept jumping around just like the authors expected. I got unstuck along the way. I learned about the book from Seth Godin. He featured Yamashita in Bull Market 2004. The authors address what all of us have experienced. Eventually, we get stuck on our projects. While you can read the book from beginning to end, Yamashita and Spataro have indexed the book and offered cross references to make it easy to find help fast for your particular situation. The book is good. The presentation is outstanding. No kidding. The graphics are bold and exciting. The paper is substantial. I couldn't read the book from beginning to end. I kept jumping around just like the authors expected. I got unstuck along the way. Get a copy, or maybe two. If you're like me, you won't want to lend your copy to others! posted by Hal at 9:35 PM \| link \| \| \| Google It! \| Email This \| Visit the Archives for more postings	Blogroll Me!
