The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 does not address specifically the responsibility of employers to provide health and safety information and instruction to employees. However, more than 100 of the Act’s current standards do contain training requirements.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has developed voluntary training guidelines to assist employers in providing the safety and health information and instruction needed for their employees to work at minimal risk to themselves, to fellow employees and to the public. These guidelines, as well as guidelines on general industry training requirements, can be found here.
