Environmental safety and health compliance
programs are hot topics today and the emphasis is increasing each year as more
and more companies work towards being GREEN. Companies and government
organizations are inundated with OSHA, EPA, and other state and federal
regulatory requirements that must be complied with to ensure worker's safety and
prevent polluting the environment. This site is intended to assist all concerned
by providing EH&S general compliance program resources with links to governing
regulations. This site is a work in progress. Each month additional programs
will be added as we expand to new areas. This site is not to be used for
regulatory determinations. ALWAYS review the regulations for final
determinations.
The initial contents of the
NIOSH
"Going Green" site include links to
resources on the following industry sectors: agriculture; construction;
manufacturing; services; and transportation, warehousing and utilities. Links
also are included to
GREEN Jobs, resources on relevant topics, such as chemicals, falls from
elevations, outdoor work, highway work zone safety, machine safety,
nanotechnology, hearing loss prevention, protective clothing and respirators.
New information will be added on an ongoing basis.
The site is designed to provide
general Safety and Environmental compliance program information and assists EH&S
specialists, safety program managers, field managers, and specialists with
needed resources, general information and links to federal regulations. This
site is published with the understanding that the publisher is not engaged in
