OSHA and The Printing Industry
Virtually every commercial lithographic printer in the United States, regardless of size, is required to comply with OSHA standards. PINE can work with you to plan and implement corrective actions before a regulatory inspection occurs. The first step in a compliance program is to understand which specific requirements apply.
- A PINE review minimizes regulatory fines & penalties
