The National Emphasis Program (NEP) is designed to prevent workplace hazards common in certain industries. The program tells OSHA inspectors what to look for when inspecting warehousing and distribution center operations, mail/postal processing and distribution centers, parcel delivery/courier services, and certain high injury rate retail establishments (e.g., hardware stores). The inspections will focus on workplace hazards common to those industries, including powered industrial vehicle operations, material handling/storage, walking-working surfaces, means of egress, and fire protection; heat and ergonomic hazards will also be looked at. While many businesses in these industries are large (think Amazon and Costco), small companies can learn from the program and use NEP materials to make their workplaces as safe as possible. #IdeaoftheDay
