The correct answer is: Occupational Safety and Health Administration

OSHA stands for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. This is a key governmental agency in the United States under the Department of Labor that is focused on ensuring safe and healthy working conditions for employees. The agency sets and enforces standards, provides training, outreach, education, and assistance to help employers maintain safe workplaces, and protects workers from hazards on the job. By defining and enforcing safety standards, OSHA plays a critical role in worker health and safety across various industries, including veterinary practices where the safety of both staff and animals is paramount. Understanding the role of OSHA is essential for veterinary assistants and others in the field to ensure compliance with safety regulations and to advocate for a safe work environment.
