One of main pieces of federal legislation regulating workplace safety and work place health is the Occupational Health and Safety Act, which established the Occupation Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the National Institute for Occupation Safety and Health (NIOSH). These two entities are charged by the Department of Labor to ensure workers the right to be employed in a safe and non-hazardous workplace. OSHA laws are a comprehensive set of codes and laws set up specifically to protect workers in all form of occupations and encompass virtually every sector of private enterprise. Additionally, OSHA protects the rights of workers to report potentially unsafe working conditions or incidents that their supervisors fail to modify. If a worker files a complaint with OSHA, a local field officer generally surprise visits a location to inspect for violations and order immediate rectification. If any employer takes action against an employee exercising their legal rights to a safe workplace, that employer will face serious administrative, civil, and potentially criminal penalties.
