Simplifying OSHA Compliance
You are expected to have a safety program in place. Identifying hazards, developing new procedures, and educating employees can be a lot to take on. A workplace safety program can help, including COVID-19 mitigation guidelines, as you try to reduce the chance of workplace accidents or illnesses that could impact employee turnover.

What You Gain
Work with Dedicated Safety Experts
A trained safety professional, assigned to your workplace, will conduct an audit to assess your needs and then develop a safety program. Our professionals also conduct employee training, plus train you to better address safety issues.
Training courses can address your specific workplace safety needs
In addition to receiving a customized safety program manual and mandatory OSHA employee training, you’ll also be able to select from more than 70 topics that can help address the specific needs of your business, including electrical safety, air purification, and COVID-19 sanitation requirements.
Protect employees and protect you finances
Injuries and illnesses on the job can affect productivity and employee morale. It can also be expensive — increasing the cost of workers’ compensation insurance and exposing you to legal and financial liability. And, if your company has a reputation for an unsafe working environment, it can affect customer loyalty and your ability to attract good talent.
Post safety reminders
You’ll get assistance from our safety program team about regulations that need to be posted, help in reminding employees of workplace hazards that reinforce training, and you’ll be updated on new regulations that impact your compliance obligations.
Support you need during the COVID-19 pandemic
As businesses closed and then tried to reopen, Paychex used technology — phones and other mobile devices — to conduct safety audits without ever having to enter your workplace. Our COVID-19 training includes social distancing protocols to help you keep employees safe and reduce the spread of the virus.
