Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA Act)

The Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA Act) is a federal law that ensures workplaces are safe and healthful for employees. It requires employers to follow safety standards to prevent accidents, injuries, and illnesses. OSHA sets rules for proper equipment, training, and workplace conditions, and it also allows workers to report unsafe practices without fear of retaliation. The goal is to create a work environment where workers can perform their jobs safely and with confidence. OSHA works through inspections, standards, and outreach to promote safety across various industries.
