How the OSH Act and OSHA can help us pave the way for psychologically safe workplaces
from Screw the Hierarchy · host Debra S Falzoi
In 1970, Congress and President Nixon passed the OSH Act (Occupational Safety and Health) to make our workplaces free of physical hazards. Since then, despite a much larger workforce, injuries, illnesses, and deaths have dramatically decreased. In this episode, I talk about what OSHA oversees, how it enforces health and safety guidelines, and how it can inform our approach to making our workplaces psychologically safer.
