OSHA Safety Training Helping To Keep Disaster Site Workers Safe During Tornado and Flooding Cleanup and Recovery Operations

The Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act) mandates and requires employers to comply with hazard-specific safety as well as the associated health standards. In addition, pursuant to Section 5(a)(1) of the OSHA Act, employers must provide their employees with a workplace which is absolutely free from recognized hazards. These hazards are mostly the ones that are most-likely to cause death or serious physical harm. Emergency Preparedness Guides do not and cannot, as well as should never, enlarge or diminish an employer's obligations under the OSHA Act. Lives are at stake here and long after the storms of Mother nature have rolled on by or the water and the rivers have once again receded.

OSHA safety training is doing their part online and onsite in the ongoing effort to both comply with the OSHA Act and administer safe disaster sites especially after the tornadoes and Mississippi River flooding that has damaged so much in the continental Unites States. During the massive flood and tornado cleanup operations, that most of the mid-section of the country has had to engage within, the issue of safety has always been a prime example of the good that OSHA safety training can impart on a devastated region.
