RE:		Federal posters

With regard to the Federal OSHA poster:

Please be advised that pursuant to 29 CFR 1903.2(a)(3), 

“Reproductions or facsimiles of such Federal or State posters shall constitute compliance with the posting requirements of section 8(c)(1) of the Act where such reproductions or facsimiles are at least 8 ½ inches by 14 inches, and the printing size is at least 10 pt. Whenever the size of the poster increases, the size of the print shall also increase accordingly. The caption or heading on the poster shall be in large type, generally not less than 36 pt.”

In reviewing the OSHA poster as MPA currently has it, the size is only 5.5" x 8". Therefore, please revise the Federal OSHA poster to meet the requirements of the Code of Federal Regulations as quoted above.
