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.
