Fundamental to the American workplace is the idea that workers
have a safe environment. Not only must this environment afford protections
today, but also ensure safety and health throughout and after employment.
Along with its agencies and programs, the Department of Labor
promotes workplace safety and health through various educational and compliance
assistance initiatives. Prevention, monitoring, and information gathering are
key elements in a cooperative relationship between government, employers, and
employees. The ultimate goal is to minimize accidents and maximize healthful
productivity.
The Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA), Mine Safety and
Health (MSHA), the Office of Workers'
Compensation Programs (OWCP), and Working Partners are among the major
agencies and programs committed to these ideals.
