what is OSHA and why is important to your business

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) plays a crucial role in ensuring workplace safety and health. It sets and enforces standards aimed at reducing workplace injuries and illnesses, which in turn helps businesses by potentially lowering long-term costs associated with worker compensation and lost productivity.

The Solar System is the gravitationally bound system of the Sun and the objects that orbit it, either directly or indirectly. Of the objects that orbit the Sun directly, the largest are the eight planets, with the remainder being smaller objects, the dwarf planets, and small Solar System bodies.

How does OSHA contribute to job safety and health?

Saturn is known most for its rings.

Galileo Galilei first thought it was an object with three parts: a planet and two large moons on either side.
Not knowing he was seeing a planet with rings, the stumped astronomer entered a small drawing — a symbol with one large circle and two smaller ones — in his notebook.

The rings are made of ice and rock and scientists are not yet sure how they formed. The gaseous planet is mostly hydrogen and helium.

Saturn has over 150 moons and satellites. However, of these vast numbers of moons, only 62 are known and confirmed as moons.

Name at least 5 of these moons.

Why is job safety and health important?

Uranus is an oddball. It has clouds made of hydrogen sulfide, the same chemical that makes rotten eggs smell so foul.

It rotates from east to west like Venus. Its tilt causes extreme seasons that last 20-plus years, and the sun beats down on one pole or the other for 84 Earth-years at a time.

Methane in the atmosphere gives Uranus its blue-green tint. It also has 13 sets of faint rings.

Neptune is about the size of Uranus and is known for supersonic strong winds.

Neptune is far out and cold.
The planet is more than 30 times as far from the sun as Earth.

Neptune was the first planet predicted to exist by using math, before it was visually detected. Neptune is about 17 times as massive as Earth and has a rocky core.

What are your responsibilities as an employer?

It was once considered a planet but in August 2006 the International Astronomical Union (IAU) downgraded the status of Pluto to that of “dwarf planet.”

Pluto is unlike other planets in many respects. It is smaller than Earth's moon; its orbit is highly elliptical.

It's a cold, rocky world with a tenuous atmosphere. Pluto is a very active ice world that's covered in glaciers, mountains of ice water, icy dunes, and possibly even cryovolcanoes that erupt icy lava made of water, methane or ammonia.

•Provide well-maintained tools and equipment, including appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE)
•Post annual injury/illness summaries for the required period of time

The dwarf planet Pluto has five moons.


Name these moons.

•Keep records of work-related accidents, injuries, illnesses and their causes

Mars is a cold, desert-like place covered in dust. This dust is made of iron oxides, giving the planet its iconic red hue.

Mars shares similarities with Earth: It is rocky, has mountains, valleys and canyons, and storm systems ranging from localized tornado-like dust devils to planet-engulfing dust storms.

What are employees’ rights?

Earth is a water world, with two-thirds of the planet covered by oceans.

It's the only world known to harbor life.

Earth's atmosphere is rich in nitrogen and oxygen.

Its name originates from 'Die Erde,' the German word for 'the ground.'
Earth may once have had two moons, nowadays it has just one.

With regards to OSHA regulations, employees have the right, among other actions, to:

A planet's day is the time it takes the planet to rotate or spin once on its axis.

Write down the Earth's day in hours.

Have his or her name withheld from the employer when filing a complaint with OSHA
Have an employee representative accompany the OSHA compliance officer on inspections
Seek safe and healthful working conditions without your employer retaliation
Object a citations’ set abatement period
Request a closing discussion following an inspection

What are employees’ responsibilities?

Venus is Earth's twin in size and has no moons.
Its surface has various mountains and volcanoes. Because of its thick, toxic atmosphere that's made of sulfuric acid clouds, Venus is an extreme example of the greenhouse effect. The average temperature on Venus' surface is 900 F (465 C).
Venus spins slowly from east to west, the opposite direction to most of the other planets.

The Greeks believed Venus was two different objects — one in the morning sky and another in the evening. Because it is often brighter than any other object in the sky, Venus has generated many UFO reports.

What are employees’ responsibilities? All employees are obligated to help prevent exposure to workplace safety and health hazards by becoming familiar with and adhering to all applicable OSHA requirements.

What are your rights as an employer?

Mercury is the smallest, only a little bit larger than Earth's moon. Mercury has no moon.

It experiences dramatic changes in its day and night temperatures: Day temperatures can reach a scorching 840 F (450 C), which is hot enough to melt lead. Meanwhile, on the night side, temperatures drop to minus 290 F (minus 180 C).

It also has a very thin atmosphere of oxygen, sodium, hydrogen, helium, and potassium and can't break-up incoming meteors, so its surface is pockmarked with craters, just like the moon.
