OSHA (Occupational Health and Safety Agency)
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is a federal agency of the United States Department of Labor dedicated to assuring safe and healthful working conditions for workers. OSHA’s role in procurement is to ensure that goods and services purchased comply with applicable safety standards and regulations. As such, all procured products should meet minimum requirements for workplace safety. Contractors must also adhere to OSHA guidelines and provide a safe and healthy work environment for their employees. By ensuring compliance with OSHA guidelines, businesses can mitigate risk and protect their workforce from potential health hazards.
