Which U.S. federal agency is legally charged with creating and enforcing workplace health and safety standards-including those that apply to hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare settings?
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), part of the U.S. Department of Labor, was established by the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 to develop, promulgate, and enforce standards that ensure safe working conditions across all industries. While agencies such as the CDC and its research arm NIOSH provide guidance and recommendations, and organizations like The Joint Commission accredit healthcare facilities, only OSHA has the statutory authority to issue and enforce workplace safety regulations, impose penalties, and conduct on-site inspections.
