In every business therights of the workers should be maintained by the employer. Those rightsinclude the health and safety protection, meaning that the employees should beequipped with the necessary protection when working in a potentially hazardous orharmful environment. In order to protect the health and safety of employees, theUnited States government has set forth regulations which require the employerto display labor law poster with the necessary information regarding the rightsof workers. One of the most significant labor law posters is the Osha workplaceposter, which is short for Occupational Health and Safety Administration.
 The Osha workplace poster differs fromindustry to industry. The content of the poster depends strongly on thecharacteristics of the business, such as the size and the type. For example, with mining industry and otherkinds of dangerous industries, it is obvious that the Osha workplace poster will be more complicated anddetailed compared to posters found in other fields. Moreover, this kind oflabor law poster is often displayed in more than one language due to the largenumber of workers with differing nationalities in many factories and companies.
In terms of content the Osha workplace poster details health and safety standardsfor worker protection in the workplace. Individuals, who fail to follow thosestandards, including bothemployers and employees, are likely to be cited. For examples, the employer who does not providestandard working equipment for the employees or the employees who do not wear protective gear when working can all be considered to be in violation of these regulations.
 In addition, when displaying Osha workplaceposters or any other kind of poster, the employer should also take into accountany change that might occur in the laws. In fact, the Osha workplace postermust be updated consistently so as to be in line with new regulations. Anychanges can be updated in two ways. The first is from the website of thegovernment or the website of the industry. The second is from an announcement bythe government informing the company to apply the change. Because laws varyfrom state to state and change over time, employers have to purchase multipleposters to meet these new standards. To avoid the costs associated withcontinuously changing and updating posters, it is best for a company to arrangea schedule in which the poster is changed every three to six months.
