Razer will answer the questions that keep you up at night, and he’ll provide answers to many questions you haven’t even considered but should. Using his years of field and management experience as a safety expert, Razer has designed and written this book to help employers who would like to know more about their obligations regarding health and safety matters in the workplace, as mandated by the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act). The book can be read chapter by chapter, from start to finish, or by “cherry picking” individual chapters of interest.

In addition, it provides information about the OSH Act for persons other than employers who may be interested in how the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) conducts its business. What people are saying about Chester “We consulted with and hired Chet Razer as an expert witness to inspect a commercial roof fall/injury in Southwest Missouri. Chet came to the injury site, conducted an investigation, and wrote a great report. Chet is a walking OHSA manual. You can tell from the terminology and his work-related mannerisms that he lives and breathes safety. Chet’s deposition went flawlessly and helped settle our case before trial. I highly recommend Chet Razer as a safety consultant in regard to workplace injuries.” “Razer Safety and Health Consulting has given our comprehensive safety and health management system a quantum leap in our employee training methodology to avoid and eliminate hazards on our projects.

A great reference that should be on every attorneys' shelf, especially if they deal in employment and construction-based law.

A well constructed reference guide for employers on the importance of knowing what OSHA is, how to prevent an OSHA violation, what options are available if you receive a notice or violation and what defenses are available.

It is definitely written by someone who is an expert.

While it is somewhat of a quick read, it does well to forward the reader to specific portions of the law and Federal codes such as the different subparts of Section 1910.

If you are in the business of employing people, you should read this book.

This is a good guide to navigating OSHA standards and having a quick overview without going through the whole document. Not recommended for people who are well versed in the topic though.
