What organization is responsible for regulating and enforcing workplace safety and health?

National Safety Council
Occupational Safety and Health Administration
Environmental Protection Agency
Department of Labor

The correct answer is: Occupational Safety and Health Administration

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is the organization responsible for regulating and enforcing workplace safety and health. Founded under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, OSHA's primary goal is to ensure safe and healthful working conditions for employees by setting and enforcing standards, as well as providing training, outreach, education, and assistance. OSHA's regulations cover a wide range of workplace hazards and issues, including exposure to toxic substances, machine safety, fall protection, and personal protective equipment. The agency conducts inspections and provides citations for violations, thereby enforcing compliance to protect workers' safety and health. While other organizations, such as the National Safety Council, promote safety awareness, and the Environmental Protection Agency focuses on environmental protection, they do not have the direct authority to enforce workplace safety regulations as OSHA does. The Department of Labor, while it oversees various labor-related statutes, does not specifically handle workplace safety and health enforcement. Therefore, OSHA is the key regulatory body for these critical issues.
