What Would OSHA Say?

OSHA wants to see employers provide training to employees on any hazards they may face on the job that could cause potential injuries or illnesses. To comply with OSHA Cold Stress standards, it’s important for employers to know the wind chill temperature so that they can gauge workers’ exposure risk better and plan how to safely do the work. Lancaster Safety can provide the proper training about potential hazards and possible solutions associated with cold stress.
