The Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA), a part of the U.S. Department of Labor, maintains a very extensive Web site. Start by visiting the site at http://www.osha.gov/
Now assume that you have just been placed in charge of workplace safety for a medium-size manufacturing firm plagued by a high rate of injuries and accidents. Based on your review of the OSHA Web site, respond to these questions:
- How helpful do you think the OSHA Web site might be to you in working to lower your plant’s accident and injury rate?
- What parts of the site do you think are most and least helpful?
- Do you think a manager in your position can rely solely on the OSHA Web site to deal with problems, or is other information required?
