OSHA Act

The OSHA Act, or Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, is a law that ensures safe and healthy working conditions for employees. It requires employers to identify, prevent, and correct workplace hazards, provide safety training, and maintain appropriate safety standards. OSHA (the Occupational Safety and Health Administration) enforces these rules through inspections and penalties to promote a culture of safety. Its goal is to reduce workplace injuries, illnesses, and fatalities, helping workers perform their jobs in a secure environment.
