Employers are responsible for providing a safe and healthy workplace for their employees. 

OSHA’s role is to promote the safety and health of America’s working men and women by setting and enforcing standards; providing training, outreach and education; establishing partnerships; and encouraging continual improvement in workplace safety and health.

This publication provides a general overview of a particular standards-related topic. 

This publication does not alter or determine compliance responsibili­ties which are set forth in OSHA standards, and the Occupational Safety and Health Act. 

Moreover, be­cause interpretations and enforcement policy may change overtime, for additional guidance on OSHA compliance requirements the reader should consult current administrative interpretations and decisions by the Occupational Safety and Health Review Com­mission and the courts.
