What do I need to know about ensuring a safe and healthy workplace?

Who regulates safety and health in my workplace?

Under the Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Act, worker safety and health is handled either by federal OSHA or State Plans. State Plans are OSHA-approved workplace safety and health programs operated by individual states or U.S. territories. There are 22 OSHA-Approved State Plans covering both private sector and state and local government workers and seven State Plans covering only state and local government workers.
