Ohio PERRP Workplace Posting Requirements
Ohio's Public Employment Risk Reduction Program requires covered public employers to inform employees of their occupational safety and health rights. Public employers must provide workplaces free from recognized hazards and comply with applicable occupational safety and health standards.
The PERRP notice explains employee protections, including the right to report unsafe working conditions, request safety inspections, and raise workplace health concerns without unlawful retaliation.
Who Needs the Ohio PERRP Poster?
The Ohio Public Employment Risk Reduction Program generally applies to covered public sector employers, including state agencies, counties, municipalities, townships, public schools, and other qualifying public institutions.
Private sector employers are generally regulated by federal OSHA rather than Ohio PERRP. Employers should determine which occupational safety and health requirements apply to their organization.
Ohio Public Employee Safety and Health Rights
Under Ohio PERRP, public employees have important workplace safety protections. These include the right to report hazardous conditions, access applicable safety information, receive required training, and participate in workplace safety processes.
Public employers are responsible for maintaining safe working environments, providing appropriate training, reporting certain serious workplace incidents, and complying with applicable PERRP standards.
