What does that number mean to you? A quick google search will reveal cam valve springs, a legislative law, and an address as a few of the top search results. If you guessed any of those, it might have been what you were looking for. However, if you’re like most of us, none of those search results crossed your mind. For OSHA, that represents the total number of violations cited in just the Top 10 Violations of 2019. Although this list does not change drastically from year to year, it does provide some great insight into possible hazards within your own facilities. It is also crucial to remember this is not a comprehensive list of every hazard, but an overview of the most common and costly violations for U.S. based employers.
