A policy for the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA)
Definition
It is the right if every employee to have a safe workplace that is free to any known dangers to themselves, their co-workers, or their customers. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is an agency by the government, which is in charge of setting safety standards, providing training and information to employers and employees, and ensuring that the American workforce stays safe and healthy. The main law that is concerned with the safety of the workers is the Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Act, which was enacted in 1970. The goal aims at implementing health and safety programs for employers and employees and to reduce workplace hazards.
Problem Statement
At this company, we are committed to providing our employees with information and clear training regarding the hazards at the workplace, how to avoid harm and the applicable laws and standards by OSHA. We are also committed to obtaining and reviewing the documentation that is associated with work-related injuries and illnesses at the site of work. We allow our employees to make confidential complaints with OSHA and have them perform an inspection of our workplace and job sites. Whenever necessary, the management will accompany and be part of the requested inspection by OSHA at the workplace. In such a case, we will also get copies of the tests that are performed to measure the hazards at the workplace (e.g., air, chemical, and related tests). No employee will be retaliated or discriminated against for making an OSHA- related inquiry or complaint.
Some of the accommodations we provide in relation with this policy are the provision of safety gear such as gumboots and masks for employees who are supposed to work in hazardous areas, for instance when spraying crops in the greenhouse. Failure to provide safety gear in such a scenario is a violation of the policy, and the employees have a right to complain to the management.
A policy for the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA)
Definition
The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) was enacted in 1975, and it prohibits any form of discrimination on age basis in activities and programs receiving federal financial assistance. The Act applies to all ages, and it permits the use of certain age distinctions and other factors besides age, which meets the requirements of the Act. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) enforces ADEA. This act protects certain employees and applicants who are forty years of age, or older, from discrimination by age at the workplace regarding hiring, compensation, discharge, promotion, or privileges, terms, or conditions of employment.
Policy Statement
This company does not condone any form of discrimination against our employees or applicants regarding hiring, compensation, discharge, promotion, or privileges, terms, or conditions of employment, as long as they meet the necessary qualifications. A situation where an employee beyond the age of forty years is denied a well-deserved promotion simply because he is old is considered a violation of ADEA. In such a case, the employee has the right to sue the company to the necessary authorities.
