Is Your Tool Compliant?
Workers have a right to a safe workplace. If you are an employer responsible for the safety and well-being of your employees, you have a responsibility to ensure your employees have a safe work environment, which extends to the tools used on the job. Failure to meet established safety standards could result in fines.
But how do you know if a tool used on the job sufficiently meets established safety standards? The best solution is to refer to agencies such as OSHA to determine the basic requirements and whether the tools are in compliance.
