The general duty clause requires employers to provide a safe work environment for their employees. This includes taking reasonable steps to identify and address potential hazards in the workplace, providing appropriate safety equipment and training, and implementing safety policies and procedures. It does not require employers to develop unique health and safety standards for each workplace, fund extended health plans, or pay disability benefits to all injured workers.
