What federal group works to ensure the safety and well-being of workers?

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is the federal agency specifically established to ensure safe and healthy working conditions for workers across the United States. OSHA sets and enforces standards, provides training, outreach, education, and assistance in various industries, making it a central authority in workplace safety regulation. Its mission is to reduce workplace hazards and implement safety and health programs to protect workers from risks associated with their jobs. This focus on enforcing regulations and standards is distinct from other organizations that may focus on broader labor issues or administrative functions without the same emphasis on safety and health standards.
