How Many OSHA Violations Can You Find?

April 5, 2007

Here's a visual quiz, prepared by MANCOMM, a company that specializes in safety products.

The imaginary company depicted in the picture above is doing some redecorating in their reception area. They're also about to celebrate an employee's birthday - they'd better hope an Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) inspector doesn't crash the party. How many OSHA violations can you spot?

"This fictional scenario depicts a wide variety of workplace hazards," says Benjamin Mangan, president and founder of MANCOMM. "Management and workers alike need to stay alert to potential dangers at all times."

MANCOMM says you're doing good if you can find at least 10 violations. The answers are a couple posts down.
