Unsafe Acts

(12 min.) To make a long story short, accident prevention came as a result of someone's misfortune. It was a reaction process, when something happened action would be taken. Over the years, businesses adopted voluntary standards, rules, and instructions relating to accident prevention. In 1980, The U.S. Government took these voluntary safety standards and made them law, known as the Occupational Safety and Health Act or OSHA. OSHA is a law design to correct the physical hazards of the job such as machine guarded, electrical hazards, and fire protection.
