OSHA Standards

OSHA stands for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, a U.S. agency that sets and enforces standards to ensure safe and healthy working conditions. OSHA standards cover various hazards, including chemical exposure, noise levels, and equipment safety. These regulations help protect workers from injuries, illnesses, and fatalities on the job. Employers are required to adhere to these standards, provide a safe work environment, and train employees on safety practices. By promoting workplace safety, OSHA aims to reduce risks and improve the overall well-being of the workforce.
