Additional Employer Responsibilities Related to Worker Safety

In addition to everything covered in this section, employers also need to take the following actions to guarantee worker safety:

• Designate a competent person who can identify existing and predictable lead hazards. This person must be authorized to take prompt measures to eliminate identified issues.
• Whenever needed, consult a qualified safety and health professional to help develop and implement an effective worker protection program. These individuals and their organizations are useful resources when you are not sure if the site achieves the best level of worker safety. Please note that these professionals may work independently, or they may be associated with organizations such as insurance carriers, trade organizations, or on-site consultation programs.
