If you are being pressured to buy the OSHA poster to be in compliance, you may be the victim of fraud.
OSHA issued a warning on January 29 that it is receiving "complaints from employers who have received 'official looking' announcements and-in some cases-threatening notices, messages, or telephone calls" from companies requiring the purchase of OSHA documents from them.
Employers who suspect fraudulent solicitation can contact OSHA at 800/321-OSHA (6742).
OSHA publications and posters are available free to any employer. Click on the image at left for information on ordering or downloading the poster from the agency's Web site.
