Making Safety Signs

OSHA offers online hazard advisor - OSHA's new interactive software allows you to identify and understand some of the more common occupational safety and health hazards.

  • Although it cannot substitute for a professional safety and health consultant, OSHA's new Hazard Awareness Advisor is an invaluable interactive tool that will help you identify and understand some of the more common occupational safety and health hazards in your work place.
  • The Hazard Awareness Advisor questions users about workplace activities, practices, materials, equipment, and policies. The program uses your answers to determine the hazards that are likely to be present. It then prepares a customized analysis that briefly describes the likely hazards and the OSHA standards which address those hazards.
  • A boon to small businesses who may not have a safety consultant on staff, the Hazard Awareness Advisor is a free Windows program that can be downloaded from the OSHA site.
