Introduction to OSHA

The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 gave employees the right to a safe and healthy workplace. The OSH Act also created OSHA, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, which creates regulations to protect worker health and safety across the country. 

To comply with OSHA requirements and build safety culture in the workplace, employers need to ensure that employees have a solid understanding of OSHA’s mission and how the agency protects them on the job.

This new “Introduction to OSHA” products discuss the rights and responsibilities employees and employers have under OSHA and how the agency enforces its regulations.
