Is it required to post violations cited by OSHA in the workplace?

Posting violations cited by OSHA in the workplace is indeed required. When an employer receives citations from OSHA for violations, they must display the citation in a prominent location where employees can see it. This must remain posted for three working days or until the violation has been corrected, whichever period is longer.

The purpose of this requirement is to ensure that employees are aware of any hazards and the necessary corrective actions being undertaken. This promotes transparency and safety in the workplace. By making the information readily available, it empowers workers to be informed about the risks in their environment and the steps the employer is taking to mitigate those risks.

In contrast, options suggesting that posting is only necessary in company records or for a limited scope of violations do not fulfill OSHA's intent to keep workers informed about safety conditions affecting their health and well-being.
