The Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Act covers most private sector employers and their employees in the United States, as well as some public sector workers in states that have their own OSHA-approved safety and health programs. However, it does not apply to self-employed individuals, immediate family members of farm employers, or employees of certain federal agencies and state and local governments unless those entities have opted into the program. The Act aims to ensure safe and healthy working conditions by setting and enforcing standards.
