The 1970 OSH Act created OSHA, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Its mission is to prevent accidents and injuries in the workplace and protect the health and safety of America's workers. It gives employees many rights related to job safety and creates uniform regulations that apply to workplaces across the country. They also need to know the responsibilities that their employers have to protect them on the job, and the role that they can play in creating safer workplaces for everyone.
