Occupational Health Tests – Augusta, GA

Several key regulations have been enacted over the years to help residents of Augusta and the rest of Georgia safeguard the welfare of employees in the workplace, prioritize employee health, and ensure that employers provide safe working conditions for their employees.

In 1993, the state enacted Georgia Code § 31-12-8, giving both the health department and the county board of health the power to ensure safe conditions in both business and industrial settings. This proactive approach to identifying and mitigating workplace occupational health risks in workplaces was a significant step toward improved public and occupational health in Georgia.

Georgia Rules & Regulations Chapter 478-4 was originally entitled "Standards of Medical and Physical Fitness" and was adopted in 1997 to ensure employees were physically fit enough to perform their job duties without creating a risk to themselves or others.

In 2008, the state enacted Georgia Code § 31-7-18 with the intention of slowing the spread of the influenza virus by requiring employers to offer annual no-cost vaccinations to certain employees with direct patient contact.

Laws pertaining to occupational health and safety for most private sector workers in Georgia are regulated by the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Unlike some other states, Georgia does not have its own state OSHA. There are three federal OSHA offices in Georgia, located in East Atlanta, West Atlanta, and Savannah.
