What is the primary focus of OSHA regarding private sector workplaces?

The primary focus of OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) is on employee health and safety. OSHA's mission is to ensure that workplaces are safe and healthful for employees by setting and enforcing standards, providing training, outreach, education, and assistance. The organization aims to reduce workplace hazards and implement safety protocols to prevent accidents and illnesses among workers.

Other aspects like structural integrity, worker satisfaction, and environmental regulations, while important in their own right, do not align as closely with OSHA's specific mandate. For example, while structural integrity may contribute to a safe working environment, OSHA's main responsibility is to protect workers from potential hazards, ensuring conditions that promote their physical well-being. Worker satisfaction and morale, though valuable for high productivity and retention, fall outside OSHA's dedicated focus on health and safety regulations. Similarly, environmental regulations are handled primarily by other agencies and are not the central concern of OSHA's role in the private sector.
