Abstract	This document consists of three separate booklets designed to educate the public and users about the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). The 54-page "All about OSHA" is intended to provide a nonexhaustive overview of OSHA services. The following topics are discussed: the need for occupational safety and health legislation; OSHA's purpose; the Occupational Safety and Health Act's provisions regarding federal employees and state/local governments; standards (sources of copies, standards development, standards adoption, emergency temporary standards, appeals of standards, variances, public petitions); recordkeeping/reporting (injury and illness records and recordkeeping variances); employer responsibilities for keeping employees informed; workplace inspection (authority to inspect, inspection priorities, inspection process); citations and penalties; the appeals process (appeals by employees and employers); OSHA-approved state programs; services available (consultation assistance, voluntary protection programs, training and education); employer and employee responsibilities and rights; ways of keeping up to date on OSHA; states with approved plans; and lists of OSHA consultation projects and area offices. "OSHA Inspections" is a 24-page booklet explaining the OSHA inspection process, steps in preparing for an OSHA inspection, and how to appeal inspection results. The third document is "How to Prepare for Workplace Emergencies," a 16-page booklet detailing the basic steps in handling workplace emergencies and sources of further information about them. (MN)
