Which posters is your business required to post (exhibit) on the wall in an employee area? Find out below, and save money by downloading them free here, or ordering them from the government printing office. The following links provide free downloads of OSHA Poster on a variety of compliance and safety subjects. We hope you find them useful!. All are available for free.
Some of the statutes and regulations enforced by agencies within the Department of Labor (OSHA) require that specific posters or notices be posted in your workplace. You needn't pay for these posters; EHSO provides electronic copies of the required posters and some of the posters are available in languages other than English. (see below)
Please note that posting requirements vary by statute; that is, not all employers are covered by each of the DOL and OSHA statutes and thus may not be required to post a specific notice. For example, some small businesses may not be covered by the Family and Medical Leave Act and thus would not be subject to the Act's posting requirements. For information on coverage, visit the Employment Laws Assistance for Workers and Small Business (elaws) Poster Advisor . You may also contact the Office of Small Business Programs, for assistance with these notice requirements.
To obtain posters or for more information about poster requirements or other compliance assistance matters, you may contact the U.S. Department of Labor by telephone at 1-888-9-SBREFA, or by email at [email protected]
