Worker Safety

The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSHA Act) was passed to prevent workers from being killed or seriously harmed at work.

The law requires employers to provide their employees with working conditions that are free of known dangers. The Act created the Occupational Safety and Health Administrations (OSHA), which sets and enforces protective workplace safety and health standards. OSHA also provides information, training and assistance to workers and employers. Workers may file a complain to have OSHA inspect their workplace if they believe that their employer is not following OSHA standards or that there are serious hazards.
The State of Michigan runs its own state program under the authority of OSHA, called MIOSHA. The Michigan Safety and Health Protection on the Job poster indicates the right to a safe workplace and provides protections to employees and contact information for the department.
