a) Take reasonable care for the safety and health of ourself and of other persons who may be affected by our acts or omissions at work;
b) Co-operate with our employer or any other person in the discharge of any duty or requirement imposed on our employer or that other person by OSHA;
c) Wear or use at all times any protective equipment or clothing provided by our employer for the purpose of preventing risks to our safety and health;
d) Comply with any instruction or measure on occupational safety and health instituted by our employer or any other person by or under OSHA or any regulations made thereunder.
OSHA gives workers the right to receive info and training about hazards and methods to prevent them. It also gives workers the right to ask OSHA to inspect their workplace without fear of retaliation and discrimination.
This are the duties of OSHA.
Under OSH Act 1970 Section 5 each employer --
(1) shall furnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment which are free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his employees;
(2) shall comply with occupational safety and health standards promulgated under this Act.

Management Leadership and Employee Involvement
Employee rights under the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) include the right to a safe and healthy workplace, the right to receive information and training about workplace hazards, the right to participate in safety activities, and the right to report workplace hazards to OSHA without fear of retaliation. Employees also have the right to access their medical records related to workplace exposure and the right to request an OSHA inspection if they believe there are unsafe or unhealthy conditions at their workplace.
No, OSHA is not authorized to fine employees, only employers.
Federally funded construction projects fall under OSHA if the organization performing the work is subject to OSHA. If the work is performed, for example, by municipal employees in a state that does not have an OSHA approved Occupational Safety and health program, then the work does not fall under OSHA.
protects employees
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is primarily responsible for ensuring health and safety standards for private sector employees. However, for federal and state employees, the responsibility lies with agencies like the Federal Occupational Health (FOH) for federal employees and individual state agencies for state employees. These agencies work to develop and enforce health and safety regulations to protect government employees.
Employees of the federal government are exempt from OSHA coverage under the OSHAct. However, by Presidential Order they are required to have Occupational Safety and Health Programs with requirements at least as stringent as those of OSHA.
Illinois has a State OSHA program that covers state government employees (and those of county and city governments, etc.) only. Federal OSHA retains responsibility for private sector employees and for federal government employees.
the safety policy to maintain a safe and injury/free working enviorment
OSHA protects employees and other workers from harm in the the workplace. They protect employees from safety hazards or injury on the job.
OSHA does not try to define an "industrial area." OSHA is concerned with employees working for employers.
