The organization is responsible for conducted inspections and responding to complaints. The research indicates that although OSHA is instrumental to ensuring the safety of American workers, the organization has experienced some scrutiny associated with the manner in which it is managed. The research found that OSHA is often riddled with problems associated with other government agencies including a slow bureaucratic process. However OSHA is attempting to become more educational and communicative as it pertains to how it associates with employers. However, it can be concluded that OSHA is necessary and needed to guarantee that businesses and organizations comply with the health and safety standards that keep employees and customers safe.

Worker right-to-know laws protect workers by legally obliging employers to divulge information about workplace hazards. Hazard communication standards require employers to "comprehensively" teach employees about hazardous materials in the workplace via such methods as "container labeling and other forms of warning, material safety data sheets and employee training," ("Hazard Communication"). Workers' Compensation is, like OSHA, covered by the United States Department of Labor. However, the Department of Labor's Office of Worker's
