OSHA - Occupational Safety and Health Administration
In general, the Act covers all employers and their employees in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and other U.S. territories. Coverage is provided either directly by the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) or by an OSHA‑approved state job safety and health plan. Employees of the U.S. Postal Service also are covered.
Workplace Fairness Website
Workplace Fairness is a non-profit organization that provides information, education and assistance to individual workers and their advocates nationwide and promotes public policies that advance employee rights. Our goals are that workers and their advocates are educated about workplace rights and options for resolving workplace problems, and that the policy makers, members of the business community, and the public at large view the fair treatment of workers as both good business practice and sound public policy. Workplace Fairness works toward these goals by: (1) making comprehensive information about workers' rights – free of legal jargon – readily available to workers and to advocates and organizations that assist workers; (2) providing resources to support the work of legal services organizations, community-based organizations, law schools, and private attorneys that provide free legal information and services to low-income workers; (3) presenting the employee perspective in publications, policy debates, and public discussion.
