Safety and Health Issues
“My laboratory and my obsession is about safety and building/engineering safety. It’s not just a matter of saying we want the world to be safer; we have to create technology.” – George M. Church
Organizations are responsible for providing safe and healthy work environments for employees, but government regulations sometimes extend protections to family members, employers, customers, and others who might be affected by the workplace environment. In the United States the regulatory agency managing workplace safety is the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
