OSHA Glossary of Terms: 10 Interactive OSHA Glossaries

In the past, we’ve published 10 different blog posts, with each post including a fully interactive, web-based OSHA glossary of terms including the terms and definitions included in an OSHA standard.

Those were so popular, we figured we’d put all 10 together into one post for you. Just scroll down and let your eyes travel over all ten. Nice, huh?

What OSHA glossary of terms (and standards) are included? From top to bottom, we’ve got the following for your viewing pleasure:

Fall Prevention and Protection, 1926.501
Hazard Communication 2012 /GHS, 1910-1200
Scaffolds, 1926.451
Respiratory Protection, 1910.134
Ladders, 1926.1053
Machine Guarding Glossary, 1910.212
Powered Industrial Trucks, 1910.178
Electrical—Wiring Methods, 1910.305
Lockout/Tagout (Control of Hazardous Energy), 1910.147
Electrical-General Requirements, 1910.303

Why did we pick these 10 standards? Because they’re consistently on OSHA’s list of the ten most cited violations.
