What is the acronym for the government agency that regulates safety?

The acronym OSHA stands for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, which is the government agency responsible for enforcing workplace safety and health regulations. OSHA's primary goal is to ensure that employees work in conditions free from recognized hazards, which includes providing standards for safe operation and health considerations in the workplace.

OSHA sets and enforces standards that aim to reduce workplace injuries, illnesses, and fatalities. The agency also provides training, outreach, education, and assistance to a variety of industries, ensuring that both employers and employees understand their rights and responsibilities concerning workplace safety.

The other agencies mentioned each have specific roles but focus on different aspects of safety and health. For instance, the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) focuses on protecting the environment and public health by regulating environmental hazards, while the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) oversees food safety and drug efficacy. NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) provides research and recommendations on occupational safety and health but does not have regulatory authority like OSHA.
