Fifty years ago, the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) began to fulfill the mission that led to its creation when President Nixon signed the Occupational Safety and Health Act on December 29, 1970 – to ensure safe and healthful working conditions for every worker in America.

“At the core of our work is the fundamental right for all workers to be protected on the job and empowered to speak up about unsafe conditions,” said Assistant Secretary for Occupational Safety and Health Douglas Parker. “As we look ahead to the next 50 years, we must continue working hard to ensure that every worker – no matter what job they do or what language they speak – has the protections they need and deserve.”
OSHA invites the public to visit the OSHA at 50 webpage to learn more about the agency’s 50 years of progress in workplace safety and health.
