What is the Occupational Safety and Health Act?
The Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) is a federal law that was enacted in 1970 to ensure that employers provide a safe and healthy workplace for their employees. OSHA sets forth guidelines and standards that employers must follow in order to prevent occupational injuries, illnesses, and fatalities. The law covers a wide range of industries and workplaces, from manufacturing and construction to healthcare and retail. Employers covered by OSHA must establish safety and health programs, train employees on workplace hazards, and maintain accurate records of employee injuries and illnesses. OSHA also conducts inspections and levies penalties for noncompliance with the law.
