At Neftaly, we prioritize the health and safety of our workforce and clients by strictly following occupational safety regulations and standards. A key component of this commitment is our understanding and application of the OSHA General Duty Clause — a foundational element in workplace safety.
⚖️ What Is the General Duty Clause?
The General Duty Clause, part of the United States Occupational Safety and Health Act (Section 5(a)(1)), requires that:
“Each employer shall furnish to each of their employees employment and a place of employment which are free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm.”
Even though OSHA is a U.S. standard, Neftaly uses its framework as a benchmark for global best practices in workplace health and safety.
