As a manufacturer, you're constantly striving to maintain the safest possible work environment for your employees and keep worker’s comp as low as possible. But new mandates will make OSHA dig deeper into your company’s operations than ever before. More inspections. Larger fines. Radical changes in how you deliver training. Interviews with your employees on every inspection.
