OSHA’s Watchlist: What Every Employee Should Know About Staying Safe

Let’s be real, safety is awesome, especially when it saves lives

Forget the snooze-fest safety talks from orientation. Workplace safety isn’t just a corporate checkbox, it’s your backstage pass to a long, injury-free career. Whether you’re swinging hammers or crunching data near high-voltage panels, knowing how to avoid OSHA’s “greatest hits” of hazards is essential.

OSHA’s Focus Four is more like the Fearsome Four of workplace danger

These four bad boys are responsible for most workplace deaths, and no, they’re not just for construction workers in hard hats.

These aren’t just buzzwords on an OSHA pamphlet, they’re the real deal. They even sneak into other industries like manufacturing, transportation, and emergency response, so nobody’s off the hook.

If you’re ignoring the Top 10 OSHA violations, you’re practically asking for a citation

Every year, OSHA drops its most violated list like a mixtape, and it never disappoints.

OSHA signs and labels aren’t just workplace décor, they’re lifesaving signals

The Hazard Communication Standard (HazCom) wants your workplace to be less “mystery chemical roulette” and more “I know exactly what could kill me here.” That includes clear labels, an updated SDS library, and people who actually read them.

If you fall at work, it better be into the arms of a well-placed safety net

Fall protection isn’t a single solution, it’s a toolkit. You need:

Lockout/tagout is how you make sure equipment doesn’t turn into a villain mid-repair

LOTO is the real MVP of maintenance safety. Here’s how it works:

Machine guarding is how you avoid losing fingers, limbs, and lunch breaks

Those spinning blades and crushing gears are not your pals.

Driving forklifts isn’t Mario Kart, it’s serious business

They’re powerful, unstable, and love tipping over when you least expect it. Respect the machinery. Stay certified. Use spotters. Don’t be the guy who reverses into the water cooler.

Ergonomics isn’t just about comfy chairs, it’s injury prevention disguised as workplace luxury

PPE is like armor, except it’s OSHA-approved and slightly less flashy

You wouldn’t walk into a beehive without a suit, right? So wear the gloves, the goggles, the boots, whatever keeps you intact.

Fire safety starts before things get hot

Bloodborne pathogens aren’t just a healthcare thing, they’re an every-workplace concern

If you’re new to the OSHA world, this intro course will get you fluent in safety-speak

Start strong with the Introduction to OSHA: General Industry and Construction Training Course. It’s the safety foundation every worker needs to avoid being a statistic.

Expand your safety knowledge with our Safety 101: OSHA’s Top 10 Training Course.

This course gives you the run-down on OSHA’s biggest red flags, but if you want the deep dive on real-world fixes and pro-level compliance, enroll in the Safety Training Program and become the safety boss your workplace deserves.
