US Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 5a1: General duty: a workplace free from recognised hazards likely to cause death or serious harm

What does 5a1 require?

Every employer must give each employee employment, and a place to work, free from recognised hazards that cause, or could well cause, death or serious bodily harm. This general duty clause (29 U.S.C. 654(a)(1)) reaches hazards no specific standard covers, and OSHA cites it where the hazard is recognised in the employer's industry, is causing or could cause death or serious harm, and a feasible means of abatement exists.
