Welcome to OSHA Workplace Safety, your practical guide to understanding workplace safety and OSHA compliance without the dense legal language, the jargon, or the guesswork. Whether you run a busy job site or are setting up your very first safety program, we are here to help you understand what the rules actually require and how to put them into practice.

We believe workplace safety should be clear and achievable for every employer, not a maze of regulations reserved for full-time compliance experts. That belief shapes everything we publish.

Who We Are

OSHA Workplace Safety is an independent educational publication focused on workplace safety, occupational health, and regulatory compliance. We cover the full picture, from the basics of identifying hazards to detailed walkthroughs of OSHA standards, safety programs, and the practices that keep real workplaces safe.

Our content is written for the people responsible for safety on the ground: employers and business owners, safety and EHS officers, HR and operations managers, and small businesses that need clear guidance without a full compliance department.

OSHA Workplace Safety is an independent publication and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) or the U.S. Department of Labor. We use the term "OSHA" only to describe the safety and compliance topics we cover. For official regulations and legal requirements, always refer to OSHA.gov.

Our Story

OSHA Workplace Safety began with a simple frustration. Most safety information online was either buried in dense regulatory language that was hard to follow, or so thin that it left real questions unanswered. We wanted to build something in between: guidance that respects the seriousness of the topic while still being genuinely easy to read and act on.

Since then, we have grown into a library of compliance guides, safety checklists, and practical how-tos. We research the standards we write about, translate them into plain steps, and update our guides as regulations and best practices change, because in safety, getting the details right matters.

What We Cover

Our library spans the full journey from understanding a requirement to building a safer workplace. Some of the areas we explore most include:

OSHA Compliance: Plain-English starting points like our complete guide to OSHA compliance.
Construction Safety: Field-ready resources such as our construction site safety checklist.
Personal Protective Equipment: Practical guidance including our complete guide to PPE.
Risk Management: Tools you can apply right away, like our risk assessment matrix explained.
Emergency Preparedness: Honest planning help such as our guide to building an emergency evacuation plan.
Industrial Safety and Standards: Deeper topics like lockout/tagout and our breakdown of ISO 45001 for safety management.

Our Mission

Our mission is simple: to make workplace safety and OSHA compliance understandable, practical, and achievable for everyone. We want an employer with no formal safety background to leave our site feeling confident and informed, ready to take the next step, whether that step is passing an inspection, choosing the right PPE, or building a safety program from scratch.

Safety rules exist to protect people, not to confuse them. Our job is to bridge that gap, one clear guide at a time.

How We Create Our Content

Trust is everything in safety and compliance, so we hold our content to a high standard.

We build on primary sources. Our guidance is grounded in official standards and current data from authorities like OSHA.gov, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, NIOSH, the CDC, the EPA, ANSI, ISO, and NFPA.
We review before we publish. Every guide is checked for accuracy, clarity, and currency by the OSHA Workplace Safety editorial team before it goes live.
We keep our guides current. When standards or guidelines are revised, we revisit and update the affected articles so the information stays reliable.
We write in plain English. No unnecessary jargon, and when a regulatory term is unavoidable, we explain it clearly.

Found something out of date or unclear? We genuinely want to know. Reader feedback is one of the main ways we improve, and you can reach us anytime through our contact page.

Why You Can Trust OSHA Workplace Safety

We are reader-first, not hype-first. We are not here to sell you training, scare you into a purchase, or pad our guides with filler. We share what the standards actually require, what good practice looks like, and where the real risks are, so you can make informed decisions for your workplace.

Everything we publish reflects careful research, recognized sources, and a commitment to honesty over clicks. And because our name resembles a federal agency, we are always upfront about what we are: an independent publisher, not a regulator.
