These agencies, namely OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration), MSHA (Mine Safety and Health Administration), and the Wage and Hour Division, are primarily committed to protecting the health and safety of employees. They enforce regulations and standards to ensure that employers provide a safe and healthy work environment, free from hazards that may cause harm or injury. These agencies are responsible for inspecting workplaces, investigating complaints, and holding employers accountable for violations of health and safety regulations to safeguard the well-being of workers. While job security and promotions may indirectly benefit from a safe and healthy work environment, they are not the primary focus or mandate of these agencies.
