Occupational Safety and Health Administration:
OSHA Homepage -
The mission of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is to save lives,
prevent injuries and protect the health of America's workers. To accomplish this, federal
and state governments must work in partnership with the more than 100 million working men
and women and their six and a half million employers who are covered by the Occupational
Safety and Health Act of 1970.
OSHA and its state partners have approximately 2100 inspectors,
plus complaint discrimination investigators, engineers, physicians, educators, standards
writers, and other technical and support personnel spread over more than 200 offices
throughout the country. This staff establishes protective standards, enforces those
standards, and reaches out to employers and employees through technical assistance and
consultation programs.
