The Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act) of 1970 was passed by Congress “to assure so

far as possible every working man and woman in the Nation safe and healthful working conditions

and to preserve our human resources.”
Under the OSH Act, OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) was established within

the Department of Labor and was authorized to regulate health and safety conditions for all

employers with few exceptions.OSHA is authorized to conduct workplace inspections to enforce

its standards. Nearly all inspections are conducted without any advance notice. Listed in their

order of importance, as determined by OSHA:
1. Coming up Danger – Coming up danger situations are given top priority. An coming up danger

is any condition where there is reasonable certainty that a danger exists that can be expected

to cause death or serious physical harm immediately or before the danger can be eliminated

through normal enforcement procedures.
2. Disastrous and Fatal Accidents – Second priority is given to the investigation of fatalities

and disasters resulting in the hospitalization of three or more employees.
3. Employee Complaints – Each employee has the right to request an OSHA inspection when the

employee feels that he or she is in imminent danger from a hazard, or when he or she feels that

there is a violation of an OSHA standard that threatens physical harm.

The Occupational Safety and Health Act grants OSHA the authority to issue workplace health and

safety regulations. These regulations include limits on hazardous chemical exposure, employee

access to hazard information, requirements for the use of personal protective equipment, and

requirements to prevent falls and hazards from operating dangerous equipment. OSHA’s current

Construction, General Industry, Maritime and Agriculture standards are designed to protect

workers from a wide range of serious hazards. Examples of OSHA standards include requirements

for employers to: provide fall protection such as a safety harness/line or guardrails; prevent

trenching cave-ins; prevent exposure to some infectious diseases; ensure the safety of workers

who enter confined spaces; prevent exposure to harmful chemicals; put guards on dangerous

machines; provide respirators or other safety equipment; and provide training for certain

dangerous jobs in a language and vocabulary workers can understand. OSHA sets enforceable

permissible exposure limits (PELs) to protect workers against the health effects of exposure to

hazardous substances, including limits on the airborne concentrations of hazardous chemicals in

the air. Most of OSHA’s PELs were issued shortly after adoption of the OSH Act in 1970.

Attempts to issue more stringent PELs have been blocked by litigation from industry; thus, the

limits have not been updated since 1971. The agency has issued non-binding, alternate

occupational exposure limits that may better protect workers.] Employers must also comply with

the General Duty Clause of the OSH Act. This clause requires employers to keep their workplaces

free of serious recognized hazards and is generally cited when no specific OSHA standard

applies to the hazard.
