The most sweeping changes in workplace safety regulation occurred in the 1980s and 1990s with the advent of many OSHA regulations requiring document preparation, employee training, medical monitoring, hazard assessments, and various other program requirements. It is important that the effort and cost associated with achieving compliance result in a return on your investment in the form of a safer work environment for your employees and reduced tangible costs. Good health and safety does pay in real dollars to your bottom line - "your health and safety dividend"
