Workplace violence is more than a security concern — it’s a safety hazard that can affect not only hotel employees, but any organization, industry, or worker. From verbal threats and harassment to physical assaults, violent incidents at work can lead to serious injury, emotional trauma, decreased morale, and lost productivity. A strong workplace violence prevention program starts with a zero-tolerance policy, hazard awareness, and clear reporting procedures that empower employees to speak up early if they see warning signs. For practical guidance on building or strengthening your workplace violence prevention efforts, read these DWC publications:

In December 2025, OSHA issued seven new Letters of Interpretation (LOIs) to clarify how employers should apply federal safety standards in real-world situations. These letters address:
These LOIs matter because they remove gray areas in the rules, support consistent enforcement, and help employers make compliance decisions with confidence. You can find the full letters on OSHA’s “Letters of Interpretation” webpage. If your company would like help with the new LOIs or other OSHA compliance needs, contact our Occupational Safety and Health Consultation (OSHCON) Program for free, confidential, onsite support at OSHCON@tdi.texas.gov or 800-252-7031.

Which OSHA course is right for you?
-
Step 1: Pick your industry. If most of your day is spent building or remodeling, choose an OSHA Construction course. If you mostly work in or for a facility that is already built — such as plants, warehouses, healthcare facilities, offices, delivery routes, oil fields, or utilities — choose an OSHA General Industry course.
-
Step 2: Pick a 10-hour or 30-hour class. If you are an entry-level or frontline worker who needs basic hazard recognition, worker rights, and job safety training, choose a 10-Hour course. If you are a supervisor, foreman, lead worker, or anyone with safety responsibilities who needs deeper training in hazard prevention, leadership, and OSHA compliance, choose a 30-hour course.

OSHA injury and illness recordkeeping deadlines are right around the corner. If your company is covered by OSHA’s recordkeeping rule, here’s what you need to know:
Key Deadlines
-
Continue to post your annual Form 300A summary in a visible location for employees through April 30.
-
Electronically submit OSHA data — including Forms 300A, 300, and 301 — to OSHA by March 2 for the 2025 calendar year.
