The agency responsible for setting federal standards varies depending on the context and specific area of regulation. For example, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) establishes standards for environmental protection, while the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) sets workplace safety standards. In general, multiple federal agencies are tasked with creating and enforcing standards across different sectors, with each agency focusing on its specific area of expertise.
The main function of OSHA is to setting standards and conducting workplace inspection for ensuring whether employers are with the standards and providing a safe and healthful workplace.
The federal body responsible for setting national standards on the environment in the United States is the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Established in 1970, the EPA develops and enforces regulations to protect air and water quality, manage waste, and safeguard ecosystems. It also conducts research and provides guidance on environmental issues to ensure public health and environmental sustainability.
The goal of the personnel responsible for setting standard costs is to provide realistic standards. Only standards perceived to be reasonable are likely to motivate workers to adhere to what is prescribed.
