By law, all employers in Alaska must post Alaska Department of Labor posters. So where can you find them? They should be posted in a place that employees frequent often, such as a break room or lunch room. Basically, they are designed so that employees can be easily informed of their labor law rights. These Alaska Department of Labor posters include individual state and federal labor law notices that are mandated by the State of Alaska.

The state posters address minimum wage, Alaska OSHA, unemployment insurance, worker’s compensation insurance, sexual harassment, emergency information, and child labor laws. The federal posters include the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Righs Act (USERRA), Equal Opportunity Employment, the Employee Polygraph Protection Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, and OSHA Job Safety and Health Protection.

Alaska has some pretty comprehensive OSHA laws that are explained on the Alaska Department of Labor posters, but before I elaborate on this I did want to mention that Alaska Department of Labor posters are changed frequently. It’s the law for employers to have a current one posted, and a good idea for employees to check the posters frequently for additions or changes.

So back to the Alaska OSHA-Health and Safety Protection Labor law poster you’ll find on Alaska Department of Labor posters. This law enforces state occupational safety and health regulations. The section provides consultative services and training to public and private sector employers and employees. Programs administered include Voluntary Protection Program (VPP), Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP), National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP), Asbestos Certification Program, Hazardous Paint Program, and the Blaster Certification Program. There’s a lot of information on this poster, and it’s worth taking some time to read.

At any rate, just wanted to touch base regarding Alaska Department of Labor posters.
