OSHA stands for Occupational Safety and Health Administration and is an agency of the United States Department of Labor. It was created in the early 1970s with the goal of preventing and minimizing work-related injuries, illnesses, and occupational fatality.

As OSHA has issued and enforced standards for workplace safety and health, it has cut down on the negative incidents. OSHA keeps up on safety by inspecting businesses whenever there are worker complaints or accidents. Businesses have increased their awareness of worker safety as a result and have trained their managers and workers to promote a safe environment.
