CGAP Safety News


Stay ahead of safety changes before they show up in an inspection report. The CGAP Safety News page brings together practical updates on workplace safety, OSHA and ANSI guidelines, enforcement trends, and real-world incidents that matter to small and mid-sized businesses.


Here you’ll find clear, plain-language summaries of:


  • New or updated OSHA and industry standards
  • Common citation trends and what they mean for your facility
  • Seasonal safety reminders (heat, cold, storms, holidays, etc.)
  • Practical tips for improving signage, training, and documentation
  • Highlighted resources from CGAP Safety that support compliance efforts


Our goal is simple: turn safety headlines into actionable steps you can use on the shop floor, in the warehouse, or out in the field. This page is not legal advice, but it is built to help owners, managers, and safety coordinators understand what’s changing, what inspectors are looking for, and how better communication and signage can reduce risk.


Check back regularly to keep your team informed, your signage current, and your safety program moving in the right direction.
