OSH Act of 1970, General Duty Clause, (Pub. Law 91-596 Section 5(a)(1)) states, "Each employer must furnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment which are free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his employees." To assist you in meeting this obligation a comprehensive health and safety management program is provided giving you access to the necessary resources to support you in program development and implementation. In addition to the information provided below, OSHA publishes two booklets that summarize many of the health and safety standards referenced. These booklets are the OSHA General Industry Digest & OSHA Construction Industry Digest. To determine your specific program needs utilize the OSHA Hazard Assessment Advisor Tool. 

In addition, the National Agriculture Safety Database published the "Agriculture Safety and Health Pocket Guide".
