July 28, 2008—The US Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recently launched a new Web page showcasing free occupational safety and health information related to flood and tornado cleanup and recovery.
The Floods and Tornadoes: Keeping Disaster Site Workers Safe During Cleanup and Recovery Operations page offers more than 40 fact sheets and easy-reference QuickCards in English and Spanish, along with links to other workplace safety- and health-related Web pages.
These resources provide response and recovery crews with information about ways to recognize and avoid injury from cleanup and recovery hazards.
