Workplace safety is a tremendously important issue, particularly in industrial contexts. OSHA stands for the Occupational Safety & Health Act. It is a federal law that governs workplace safety and the overall conditions worker’s complete their tasks within. The law regulates things like safety equipment, protective gear, access to fire and health prevention or treatment and hours. OSHA inspectors schedule regular trips to employers to review their operations and ensure they meet the standards of the law. However, the inspectors may also show-up unannounced at times, especially if made aware that a company may be in ongoing violation of the law.
