What is the ultimate goal of OSHA?

The ultimate goal of OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) is to reduce injuries, illnesses, and deaths of workers to zero percent. This objective reflects OSHA's fundamental mission to ensure safe and healthful working environments for all employees across various industries. By striving to eliminate workplace hazards, OSHA aims to create conditions where all workers can complete their tasks without the risk of harm, ultimately protecting the well-being of the workforce.

While reducing workplace injury costs or increasing regulations might support the overarching goal of worker safety, they do not encapsulate OSHA's primary mission. Similarly, training for employees is an important component of workplace safety, but it is a means to achieve the larger aim of completely eliminating workplace hazards and ensuring a safe working environment for every employee.
