Safety and Health Information Bulletins (SHIBs)

Introduction

This information is provided to assist employers as well as health and safety professionals in assuring safe and healthful working conditions for working men and women. SHIBs replaced OSHA's Hazard Information Bulletins (HIBs) and Technical Information Bulletins (TIBs) in the year 2003 per the OSHA InstructionCPL 02-00-065 [CPL 2.65A]. This website provides links to SHIBs, HIBs, and TIBs.

SHIBs, HIBs, and TIBs are listed alphabetically by title under theA-Z tab, by subject matter under theTopic tab and chronologically under theDate tab.
