A new OSHA website provides information on hazards that earthquakes cause, earthquake preparedness, and precautions workers and employers should take after an earthquake has occurred. The Preparedness page discusses ways for employers and workers to prepare for an earthquake by developing an emergency response plan and conducting workplace training. Preparedness includes planning for an earthquake before it occurs, equipping workers with information and emergency supply kits, training, and implementing preparedness plans.
