We want to make sure that employers do not become victim of fraudulent solicitation practices or incur unnecessary costs where these resources are concerned.
OSHA's publications and posters are available free to anyone who asks simply by visiting the publications page on the agency's Web site at http://www.osha.gov/pls/publications/pubindex.list. The publications, posters, fact sheets, etc., can be ordered through the publications office or, in most cases, downloaded directly from the Web site.
As a reminder, employers are required to continually display a poster prepared by the Department of Labor that informs employees of protections afforded under the Occupational Safety and Health Act. The poster must be displayed in a conspicuous place where employees, as well as applicants for employment, can view it. Private employers may use the poster available from OSHA's Web site, or a suitable reproduction or facsimile.
Employers in states operating OSHA-approved state plans should obtain and post the state's equivalent poster. (See the State Programs link on OSHA's webpage for a list of these states and contact information.)
If you feel you've received a fraudulent solicitation, contact the agency at 1-800-321-OSHA (6742). You can also contact any OSHA area office throughout the nation for information on specific workplace safety and health requirements. Those office addresses and phone numbers are available on the agency's Web site at http://www.osha.gov/html/RAmap.html.
OSHA updates its Web site daily. We invite you to refer to it often for important information about workplace safety and health.
