Occupational Safety and Health Administration

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) was founded in 1970 as an extension of the US Department of Labor. OSHA is responsible for developing and enforcing regulations helping to ensure the safety and health of workers involved in interstate commerce. After establishing guidelines and standards, OSHA inspects jobsites to verify that businesses are complying with these rules. In the event of noncompliance, it will issue citations and even penalize employers who are in violation of the code. In the 1980s and ‘90s, OSHA expanded their role of protecting employees from harm at the workplace and sought to minimize their exposure to hazards like lead, asbestos, pesticides, toxic chemicals, and even noise pollution.
