Occupational Safety and Health Act

The Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) is a U.S. federal law designed to ensure safe and healthy working conditions. It requires employers to provide a workplace free from serious hazards and sets standards for safety practices. OSHA also provides employees the right to report unsafe conditions and receive training on how to perform their jobs safely. The Act helps protect workers from injuries and illnesses on the job, promoting a culture of safety across industries. Through inspections and regulations, OSHA aims to reduce workplace risks and improve overall employee well-being.
