Virginia DCJS Security Officer Practice Exam

According to the Occupational Health & Safety Act, employers are required to provide a reasonably safe and healthy work environment for their employees. This means taking measures to identify and eliminate any potential hazards to employee health and safety, as well as providing adequate training and resources for employees to do their jobs safely. Providing body armour or assigning two guards at night may be specific safety measures, but they are not generally required of all employers under the Occupational Health & Safety Act. Similarly, while it may be common for higher pay rates to be offered in riskier work environments, this is not a requirement under the Act.
