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.
