Occupational Safety and Health Standards

Occupational Safety and Health Standards are regulations designed to ensure a safe and healthy work environment for employees. These standards establish requirements for workplace safety, including proper equipment usage, hazard communication, and employee training. They aim to prevent accidents, injuries, and illnesses related to work. Governed by agencies like the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in the U.S., these standards help protect workers' rights and promote their well-being on the job, ultimately fostering a safer workplace for everyone. Organizations must comply with these standards to avoid penalties and enhance employee safety.
