What does OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) primarily focus on?

The primary focus of OSHA, or the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, is to ensure safe and healthful working conditions for employees across various industries. This is achieved through the establishment and enforcement of safety regulations and standards designed to reduce workplace hazards. OSHA's mission is to prevent work-related injuries, illnesses, and deaths by fostering a culture of safety and health in the workplace.

While workplace accident investigations play a role in understanding safety compliance and areas that require improvement, OSHA's overarching goal centers on creating an environment where hazards are minimized and compliance with safety standards is maintained. Similarly, while environmental protection and public health education are important, they are outside the primary scope of OSHA's mandate focused specifically on occupational safety and workplace health.
