OSHA are the acronyms with which the abbreviated name is United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration, a delegation that responds and depends on management matters to United States Department of Labor and whose main mission is to ensure the compliance with the laws regarding safety and health in the workplace. That is to say, it is the body in charge of controlling that any worker performs their work within a healthy and safe framework.
The United States Department of Labor is the equivalent of the ministry or secretary of labor of any other country and its reason for being is to execute the policies that the government develops in labor matters, to ensure the well-being of workers, but Likewise, it must also take care of transferring this enjoyment to retirees and unemployed people. Retirees must ensure access to all benefits given their condition and those unemployed must assist them until as long as they can return to the labor market.
Safety and hygiene are two basic and paramount issues that all workspaces must observe without exceptions. Not only so that the employee can develop their maximum work potential without problems of this type, but also because this will generally benefit the image of any company.
Therefore, the employee will have the right to demand that the aforementioned conditions be met in their work, but when this does not happen or for the time being compliance with these issues is deficient, in the United States, they can go and request the intervention of the OSHA.
Among the main actions carried out by OSHA are awareness campaigns and prevention of work accidents, either as a consequence of the work and the tools used that can be dangerous, as well as those that have to do with the weather, Such is the case of those people who, for example, work all day in the sun in difficult times in this sense, such as summer.
All OSHA work is centralized at its headquarters located in the nation's capital, Washington DC.
