Workplace Safety & OSHA Rule Watch

Why this is recommended

Knowing a heat standard requires rest breaks, that an employer was cited for the hazard a worker faces, or that a state raised workers' comp benefits each protects health and income beyond any fee.

What the Tab covers

Who it is for

The 50 million Americans in warehouse, construction, manufacturing, healthcare, agriculture and delivery jobs where safety rules shape the day.

When it runs

OSHA rules take effect on fixed dates, heat standards trigger seasonally, and citation data publishes weekly with company names

Scope

OSHA federal rules and enforcement releases; state plan agencies including Cal/OSHA, Washington L&I and Oregon OSHA; OSHA citation and fatality data; whistleblower and NLRB rulings; state workers' compensation boards and rate filings; NIOSH research; major employer safety announcements

Suggested task

The objective your Tab starts with. You can edit every line of it once the Tab is yours.

OSHA and state plan rule changes on heat, silica, PPE, injury reporting, walkaround rights and warehouse ergonomics, major citations and penalties with company names, fatality and severe injury data by industry, whistleblower and retaliation rulings, workers' compensation rate and benefit changes by state, and safety training and certification deadlines, with the rule or employer first.

Track workplace safety for US workers. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: OSHA and state plan rule changes on heat illness, silica, PPE, injury and illness reporting, walkaround representation, warehouse and ergonomics standards with effective dates; OSHA citations over $100,000 with employer names and hazards; fatality and severe injury reports by industry; whistleblower, retaliation and refusal-to-work rulings; state workers' compensation benefit, rate and coverage changes with dates; NIOSH hazard alerts; and safety training or certification deadlines. Prefer OSHA, state plan, NIOSH, court and workers' compensation board sources; ignore safety product marketing. Put the rule or employer first in the title. Use high severity for a rule taking effect within 60 days, a citation over $500,000, or a fatality cluster in one employer or industry. Return no more than 6 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what changed, who it protects, the date, what a worker can ask for or report, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
