Established back on December 29th, 1970, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) became established under the Occupational Safety and Health Act. It's a division of the U.S. Department of Labor and works to make sure that there are safe and healthy working conditions for employees throughout the United States. It also provides education, outreach, training, and assistance for workers throughout the country. When companies are deemed to have had violations at their places of operation, they can result in fines from OSHA.
