E-Books From OSHA

Yea, them.

Some of these have been posted in he past, but here are all of the current OSHA e-books that are on their website.

Programs will include information on hazard communication, respiratory protection, workplace violence in healthcare, nail salons, trees, ladders. etc.

Note – 2 are missing – those are the ones on COVID-19. Since the rule faced challenges, he information in the books may not currently be accurate.

Take 5 for Safety

Who knew they had this much stuff?

Texas has a great resource on safety – a series of short safety topics that are called, “Take 5.” These are a wide range of subjects – I don’t think I have them all, but below are the best.

You know what to do:

Thank You Laos!

I had a spike in traffic at 1:00am and was curious as to who it was from. Laos!

ຢູ່ທີ່ປອດໄພແລະສະບາຍດີ!

That is, ‘Stay safe and be well’ in Lao. I used a translator so if it says something else, my bad.

OSHA Has Books

(Definitely Not OSHA)

Below are a great selection of books from OSHA. These may be 20 – 100 pages and include items such as guides on what they require for training.

Note – I have included the pdf version, but if you go to the OSHA website, they also have MOBI and EPUB.

CalOSHA Pocket Construction Safety Guide

At 88 pages, it is a heck of a ‘pocket’ guide, but I didn’t name it. This is actually a comprehensive safety guide for construction sites. Since this is California, the standards will be as good, or more so, than other places in the USA.

Additionally, if you want to go into mass production with these guides, they kindly included the setup for professional printing. Those files are included as well.
