OSHA is an administration within the United States Department of Labor. This organization was created in 1970 after the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 was passed. The purpose of this administration is to ensure that men and women have safe and healthful working conditions. This is accomplished by enforcing standards and through providing training, assistance, and education to the workforce.
OSHA helps set and enforce labor laws and regulations. These laws and regulations have jurisdiction over public sector employers as wells as workers in 50 states. Before OSHA was created, unsafe working conditions were a major issue. Workers would become hurt on the job because of these conditions, and may not have received compensation. OSHA works to prevent these situations from happening.
When a company follows OSHA regulations, that company is taking measures to keep employees safe. This administration is important for workers throughout the United States. Many supervisors and business owners go through training in order to understand OSHA laws and regulations. They learn how to implement those regulations and how to keep their employees safe. As a planning and construction manager in Venice, Florida, Sally Rowley has a vested interest in OSHA.
