The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has faced criticism from various groups for being ineffective and burdensome. Despite complaints, OSHA is responsible for enforcing health and safety standards in workplaces. The agency has been accused of weak enforcement, political influence, and slow implementation of health standards. OSHA defends its regulations and enforcement efforts, pointing to the complexity of its task and limited resources. Complaints about OSHA regulations being too technical and costly have also been raised. The agency has the authority to delegate its responsibilities to states that meet its standards.
