POSTINGS MUST BE A

Labor law postings have specific sizes to be
visible for your employees. However, the
size depends on the posting.

Health Association (OSHA) Job Safety and
Health posting must be 8.5 by 14 inches to
be compliant.

3. 2. THE FONT ON EACH POSTING
NEEDS TO BE A SPECIFIC SIZE.
Most postings have font requirements, as well, because
they need to be easily readable.
EXAMPLE: The Occupational Safety and Health Association
(OSHA) Job Safety and Health posting must feature a
minimum 10-point font.
