Which statement about displaying the OSHA poster is accurate?

• A. All employers covered by the OSH Act must display the poster in a conspicuous place.
• B. The poster must be posted only if there has been an incident.
• C. The poster can be kept in the human resources file only.
• D. The poster is optional for most worksites.

Answer: (A)

Posting the OSHA Job Safety and Health poster in a conspicuous place is required to ensure workers are aware of their rights and how to report hazards. For every employer covered by the OSH Act, the poster must be displayed where employees can easily see it during the workday. This requirement is not activated by incidents, nor is it optional or something to keep in a file; visibility at the workplace is the key point. If there are multiple worksites, each establishment needs its own posted poster. So, the accurate statement is that all employers covered by the OSH Act must display the poster in a conspicuous place.
