August 4, 2003—Two new pages are now available on the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Web site with information on workplace emergency preparedness and how OSHA helps small businesses.
The new Emergency Preparedness and Response Page focuses on the occupational safety and health aspects of emergency preparedness and response, providing links for responders and general worksites looking for technical assistance. The site is arranged to provide information based on type of employer (responders and general worksites) as well as on specialty topics like chemical, biological, personal protective equipment, or bioterrorism. There are also links to other government Web sites that offer information and technical assistance.
The redesigned Small Business page is home to information on the consultation program and a new section on the Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP). The site has several other new sections, including a section on the benefits OSHA provides to the small business employer and Small Business Success Stories. The page has links to OSHA’s Safety and Health Data Tools, Technical Links to Safety and Health Topics, and links to the wide of array of compliance assistance pages. There is also a Helpful Web sites section with links to other governmental compliance assistance sites.
