occupational safety regulations
Occupational safety regulations are rules and guidelines designed to protect workers from hazards in the workplace. These regulations aim to minimize risks related to accidents, injuries, and illnesses by ensuring safe working conditions. They cover various aspects, including equipment safety, proper training, and emergency procedures.
Organizations like the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in the United States enforce these regulations. Employers are required to comply with these standards to create a safe environment for their employees. Regular inspections and training programs help maintain safety and promote awareness of potential workplace dangers.
