Module 8 Discussion - Explain the significance of Occupational Safety

Module 8 Discussion

You need to compose a discussion board post of at least 250 words that addresses the guiding questions below. Remember that your post should not simply be quick answers to each of the questions. In other words, review each question, reflect on the answers, and compose a singular response that shows your understanding of this material. In fact, you may not use all of the questions in your response, but you should show a full comprehension of the material.

Your entire original post and peer response will be evaluated based on your knowledge of the content, your ability to compose a thoughtful and clear response, and your ability to engage with your classmates regarding the topic.

Guiding Questions:

1. Explain the significance of Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), right-to-know laws, and health related hazards at work.
2. Explain the role of Human Resources regarding these standards.
3. How can disregarding these standards have an impact on the workplace?
