The power to regulate working conditions typically refers to the authority of government agencies or legislative bodies to establish and enforce laws and standards that govern workplace safety, health, hours, and wages. This power is often exercised through regulations set by agencies such as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in the United States. The aim is to protect workers' rights, ensure safe work environments, and promote fair labor practices. Such regulations can also address issues like discrimination, worker compensation, and labor relations.
