Virginia Labor Law Posters

October 10th, 2006 Posted by Mark

We’ve covered the OSHA posting for the federal government, or the posting from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration in Washington, and we’ve covered it well, if I do say so myself. But there are also similar posters on the state level that we should take a look at.

One such work site safety and worker health posting is in the Virginia Labor Law Posters. The Job Safety and Health Protection posting in the Virginia Labor Law Posters says a lot of the same things as the federal OSHA, but as all good Virginia employers know, that doesn’t matter so much.

Virginia employers are supposed to have both the federal OSHA posting and the state Job Safety and Health Protection posting in the Virginia Labor Law Posters on the walls of their work sites. That means both in the Virginia Labor Law Posters have to be posted somewhere in the work sites that is conspicuous and easily accessible by all employees.

The Job Safety and Health Protection posting in the Virginia Labor Law Posters cover the Virginia law on occupational safety and health, which is by the authority of the state Title 40.1 of the labor laws in the state. It provides job safety and protection for workers’ health and welfare. The law and the posting in the Virginia Labor Law Posters are meant to maintain a healthy working condition in all work sites across the state, and it’s a big state.

That means, according to the posting in the Virginia Labor Law Posters, that employers must provide each of their employees with a job and a place of work that are free from known hazards that could cause death or injury, for instance. And employees, for their part, must follow safety and work rules under the law that will help protect them as well.
