OSH Law Primer, Part I: Understanding the OSH Act and OSHA
This is the first in a series of articles intended to provide the reader with a very high-level overview of the Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and how both influence workplaces in the United States.By the time this series of articles is complete, the reader should be conversant in the subjects covered and develop a deeper understanding of how the OSH Act and OSHA work. This is not, however, a comprehensive study of the OSH Act or OSHA and cannot possibly equip the reader to be able to address all issues that might arise with respect to these authorities.
