OSHA policy is that every employee is trained in the procedure of the OSHA handbook. OSHA stands for Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
OSHA or the Occupational Safety and Health Administration was created by the Occuaptional Safety and Health Act of 1970, enacted by the U.S. Congress and signed by President Richard Nixon on December 29, 1970. The main goal of this act was to ensure that employers provide employees with employment a place of employment free from recognized hazards. These could include exposure to toxic chemicals, excessive noise levels, mechanical dangers, heat or cold stress, or unsanitary conditions.
The original OSHA standards, adopted during the first 6 months after the Agency was established, came from existing government standards and and consensus standards such as those issued by ANSI.
