OSHA requires each employer to post and keep posted a notice informing employees of the protections and obligations provided for in the Act.  Such notice shall be posted by the employer in each establishment in a conspicuous place or places where notices to employees are customarily posted. Each employer shall take steps to insure that such notices are not altered, defaced, or covered by other material.
