Compliance Poster Company announces Mandatory-To-Post changes to Utah labor law posters. Two significant changes affect Utah OSHA postings. Previously there were two Occupational Safety and Health postings, but materials from both have been combined onto one OSH poster titled “Workplace Safety and Health in the State of Utah”. The sole Utah OSHA poster covers occupational safety and health and safety and health-related discrimination. Prominent easy-to-reference contact numbers direct employers and employees to reporting injuries and compliance & consultation programs. And what about those QR Codes… Utah OSHA has one right on the new poster so employers and employees can obtain more information instantly!
Utah OSHA’s mission is to achieve compliance and provide assistance with safety and health in the workplace. The tradition of safety for workers is not new in Utah. Rewind back to the 1950’s, a time when the Federal OSHA was not in existence, Utah had declared standards and safety orders addressing some of the most critical threats to workers’ safety at that time. Utah OSHA continues providing for worker protections today through the Utah Occupational Safety and Health Act.
An additional change that merits mention is the addition of time reporting limits on the Utah Workers’ Compensation labor law posting. Employees need to know that they must report an injury no matter how slight to their boss immediately. There are time limits for reporting injuries or work-related illnesses, 180 days.
