What are Colorado’s Top OSHA Violations?

Are you worried about your safety at work?

Do you believe that your workplace is failing to follow OSHA regulations?

Have you witnessed accidents in the workplace that could have been prevented?

The United States Department of Labor reports that the following are frequent violations in the workplace:

1.    Fall protection
2.    Hazard communication
3.    Scaffolding
4.    Respiratory protection
5.    Lockout/Tagout
6.    Powered industrial trucks
7.    Ladders
8.    Electrical, wiring methods
9.    Machine guarding
10.    Electrical, general requirements

According to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, “Workers, or their representatives, may file a complaint and ask OSHA to inspect their workplace if they believe there is a serious hazard or that their employer is not following OSHA standards. A worker can tell OSHA not to let their employer know who filed the complaint.”

If you or someone you know was recently injured in a workplace accident, it’s important to consult with an attorney to ensure your rights are protected. You aren’t alone! Many people are battling the same issues, and they may have many of the same fears and questions. It always makes sense to consult with an attorney first.
