The OSHA also called federal Occupational Safety and Health Act, expects from the employers to provide and ensure a safe working condition for their workers which is very important in any organization. There are lots of states which have their own law of office conditions. In order to follow the law of OSHA, it's very vital for the employers to initially learn about their responsibilities that are registered through this federal law. All the material written above is relevant with the book “Occupational safety and health for technologist, engineers, and managers”. (Anderson, 1979)
