Chapter 3 Reflection

OSHA
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) was developed in 1970 when there became an apparent need for stricter rules and regulations. The year before OSHA began there was a reported 15,000 work related deaths in the United States. This horrific number was vastly reduced immediately in part because of new safety guidelines and steep monetary penalties. Human Resource Managers are a great resource to learn more about the regulations and to become better informed on safety issues.
