Missouri Workplace Safety and Health Programs are a set of initiatives and regulations designed to promote safe and healthy work environments for employees. The goal of these programs is to reduce workplace hazards, prevent workplace injuries and illnesses, and ensure compliance with applicable safety and health regulations. The Missouri Department of Labor and Industrial Relations (DOLOR) is responsible for administering these programs, which include the Missouri Occupational Safety and Health Act, the Missouri Workers' Compensation Act, and the Missouri Safety and Health Standard. The Missouri Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) requires employers to provide a safe workplace and to comply with safety and health standards. The program also requires employers to keep records of workplace hazards and to provide training to employees about workplace safety and health. The Missouri Workers' Compensation Act provides benefits to workers who are injured or become ill due to a workplace incident or hazard. The program also requires employers to carry workers' compensation insurance and to provide necessary medical care to injured workers. The Missouri Safety and Health Standard requires employers to implement safety and health programs that include hazard assessment, hazard control, training and record keeping. The program also requires employers to provide employees with protective equipment and to ensure that employees are trained in the safe use of the equipment. In addition, Missouri Workplace Safety and Health Programs include other initiatives such as the Voluntary Protection Program (VPP), which recognizes employers who have implemented exemplary safety and health programs. The Workers' Memorial Day Program is another initiative that promotes workplace safety and honors those who have lost their lives due to workplace injuries or illnesses.
