Brushing Up on the OSHA Top 10
Source: Federated Insurance, January 16, 2024
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Top 10 list accounts for the most frequently cited standards following inspections of businesses and worksites by federal OSHA. This helpful list can be used as a guide to learning what common risks to watch out for, and accessing vital information to help avoid devastating — and costly — work injuries or fatalities.
Each year, OSHA posts their Top 10 violations after the month of April to allow the prior fiscal year’s inspection data to finalize.
In the fiscal year 2022, the Top 10 included:
- Fall protection(C)
- Hazard communication
- Ladders(C)
- Respiratory protection
- Scaffolding(C)
- Control of hazardous energy (lockout/tagout)
- Powered industrial trucks
- Fall protection training(C)
- Eye and face protection(C)
- Machinery and machine guarding
