Workplace Accidents and Emergencies

     Accidents and emergencies can happen in the workplace. OSHA publishes an informational booklet, How to Handle Workplace Emergencies, that provides an overview of basic steps to handle emergencies such as fires, explosions, accidental releases of toxic gases, and bodily harm and trauma from workplace violence.
