Title: Walk Through It: OSHA's Top Ten
Course: Open PRO110 Safety, Health & Environment > Section: Module 1: Getting Started - Introduction To Safety Health and Environment, & Hazard Identification and Classification

Think About

As you know by now, OSHA will cite a business for violating the standards. Citations can be very costly to the bottom line so most businesses will expect 100% adherence to the rules. Below is a list of the top ten most frequent violations cited. Look over the list and think of your experiences at work (or at home).

Action Required

First post: Tell us a story about an experience you have had with one of the top ten violations. If necessary, the names should be changed to protect the "innocent".  Be specific and give details or in other words "paint us a picture". (This is what you jotted down earlier)

Response to Peer: Read through the discussion posts of your peers. Then on a different day than when you made your first post, reply to one of your peers as to how the outcome of their experience might have turned out differently (either positive or negative result).

Tips

- View the Discussion Overview & Rating Rubric so that you understand what is required and what it's worth to you.
- You may use the "I" pronoun in our discussions because your responses will not be essays but more conversational. First you should think about and compose your response in a word processor like Word. Then respond to the questions above by copying and pasting your response, this way you can work on your responses without being connected to the Internet.
