Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Act

The Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Act is a U.S. law that aims to ensure safe and healthy working conditions for employees. It requires employers to identify and eliminate hazards in the workplace, such as unsafe machinery or toxic substances. The Act also establishes the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), which sets and enforces safety standards, provides training and education, and conducts inspections. Essentially, the OSH Act is designed to protect workers' rights to a safe work environment, reducing risks of accidents and health issues on the job.
