Temporary worker safety should be a top priority of all staffing firms. Being prepared for a federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration inspection and understanding the correct steps to take can ensure positive business results for the staffing firm and the client, while also ensuring temporary workers’ rights, safety, and health are protected. ASA has developed an issue paper, developed in connection with the association’s Employee Safety Committee, outlining staffing industry best practices for interacting with OSHA. You can find the issue paper, along with many other resources for ensuring temporary worker safety, at americanstaffing.net/safetymatters.

ASA strives to deliver valuable information and resources to fuel its members’ success. The association has commissioned Readex Research to conduct a comprehensive communications and content survey—and your input is critical.

Members received a unique survey link via email; reminder emails were sent last week. Once you complete the survey, you can enter a drawing for a chance to win one of five $50 Amazon gift cards. Responses will be kept confidential.

All ASA members have access to a host of free resources designed to help them answer frequently asked questions. Get marketing resources that will help your clients and candidates understand the value of using a staffing company—including infographics, member logos, social media tactics, sector-specific FAQs for clients and talent, slide presentations, and much more—in the ASA Staffing Promo Tool Kit.

You can customize the FAQ documents with your company logo, incorporate them into client presentations, or provide them to candidates during the interview process. Get them in the ASA Staffing Promo Tool Kit at americanstaffing.net.
