OSHA releases it top 10 most common work place injuries for 2007

<p>OSHA annually reports the leading causes of workplace injuries during its fiscal year (October through September). This year, the 2007 &ldquo;top 10&rdquo; list of most frequently cited standards will look familiar &mdash; the top spots have remained relatively unchanged for the past three years. This stability is good news for risk managers and safety directors. It provides a compass as to where to focus your safety efforts to protect both employees and the bottom line.</p><p>Standard</p><p>1.
