PROSHA Poster Updates: What Employers Should Know

As part of ongoing regulatory updates, employers in Puerto Rico are encouraged to revisit their workplace postings—particularly the PROSHA (Puerto Rico OSHA) Job Safety and Health poster, which remains a mandatory requirement for most workplaces.

This poster is not optional.

It applies to all employers with one or more employees, regardless of industry or size, and it must be posted at each worksite where employees perform their duties.

Recent updates to labor law postings and related notices—some identified for 2026—serve as a reminder that employers should confirm that what is currently posted reflects the most up‑to‑date requirements. While older versions of OSHA posters may still be acceptable in certain cases, best practice is to maintain current postings to avoid gaps during inspections.

For those setting this up for the first time, the requirement is straightforward: the poster must be displayed in a visible and accessible location where employees can easily read it—typically in common areas such as break rooms, entrances, or near timekeeping stations. In Puerto Rico, these notices must be available in Spanish, as part of local labor compliance obligations.

Failure to comply with posting requirements, even something as simple as a missing or outdated poster, can result in citations or monetary penalties during inspections. More importantly, these postings play a key role in informing employees of their rights and reinforcing a culture of safety and accountability in the workplace.

For current clients, this is a good opportunity to verify that all required postings are in place, current, and properly displayed across facilities. It is often a quick check—but one that can prevent findings during audits or inspections.

As regulatory expectations continue to evolve, staying current on these straightforward requirements is one of the simplest ways to maintain compliance and support a safe working environment.
