OSHA's free On-site Consultation Program

OSHA's free On-site Consultation Program helped more than 27,000 employers create safer workplaces in 2016

Last year, 27,385 small and mid-sized U.S. businesses took advantage of OSHA's free and confidential On-site Consultation Program to remove workplace hazards and better protect their workers. The program primarily benefits small and mid-sized businesses – 57% of those helped last year had fewer than 26 employees. Priority is given to high-hazard industries, with more than half of all visits going to construction or manufacturing sites. In 2016, consultants identified and helped employers eliminate more than 140,000 total hazards, protecting an estimated 3.3 million workers from possible injury, illness or death.

 

NIOSH Free Sound Level Meter (SLM) app

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is pleased to announce the availability of a new mobile application (app) for iOS devices that can measure sound levels in the workplace. The app called the NIOSH Sound Level Meter (SLM) app can help promote better hearing health and prevention efforts at construction worksites by acquiring and displaying real-time noise exposure data when occupational safety and health professionals are not readily available. The NIOSH SLM app is free, easy to use, and can give any user immediate feedback about sound levels and noise exposure. 

Available for iOS Devices only.
