OSHA compliance is important for any North Texas business. Contrary to popular belief, OSHA (the Occupational Safety and Health Act) applies not only to construction and jobs requiring physical labor, but it’s in force for dedicated office environments as well.   Any business operating in the private sector that employs one or more people who are non-family members is subject to OSHA compliance.  OSHA ensures that employers furnish information, protection and equipment to help avoid hazards, as well as methods to tend to injuries in the workplace.

FASTEX understands that every company operates differently, with various needs for assistance with OSHA compliance.  Your company’s employees may require only periodic instruction on the use of fire extinguishers; or your business may have rapidly grown to the point of needing the implementation of full safety equipment and programs that fit within OSHA’s stringent regulations.  FASTEX helps you  fulfill all of these requirements with these OSHA compliance standards and more:

• Updated records and operating permits for items such as elevators, liquefied petroleum gas tanks, and air pressure tanks
• Required OSHA workplace posters
• Working procedures for handling in-house employee complaints regarding health and safety
• Signs regarding room capacities, building exits, biohazards, exposures to microwave, x-ray, microwave, or other harmful radiation or substance, and
• Employee training records available for review by employees, when required by OSHA.

OSHA compliance also mandates that all employees who are expected to respond to medical emergencies while on the job

1. have a hepatitis B vaccination made available to them
2. have appropriate training on precautions to guard from bloodborne pathogens, and
3. receive first-aid training.
