Why OSHA Posters are important
Aside from compliance to the Occupational Safety and Health Agency (OSHA)’s requirements, letting employees and consumers be aware of safety precautions around your office or workplace is one of the prime reasons as to why posting OSHA Posters is important.
What should the Federal Posters include?
With its vision to: "assure safe and healthful working conditions for working men and women.” the Labor Law Posters should include the following:
•Job Safety and Health Protection
•Equal Employment Opportunity is The Law
•Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)
•Employee Right for Workers with Disabilities/Special Minimum Wage
•Your Rights under The Family and Medical Leave Act
•Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act
•Notice to all Employees Working on Federal or Federally Financed Construction Projects
•Notice to Employees Working on Government Contracts
•Notice: Employee Polygraph Protection Act
•Notice Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act
•Notification of Employee Rights Under Federal Labor Laws

Who must post these Labor Law Posters?
All employers employing any employee, may it be private, federal, state and local government. Public agencies, academic institutions (public and private elementary and secondary schools) including joint employers and successors of covered employers—are also asked to post these Labor Laws.
What will happen if failure to comply befalls?
Penalties may range from civil money up to court actions by the Secretary of Labor. Some even include suspension or cancellation of the contract and the debarring of Federal contractors from future contracts as a remedy for noncompliance to these requirements.
