Abstract
The overall purpose of the Congress of the United States in enacting the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 is acceptable to employers and employees. There are details of the rules and regulations issued by the Secretary of Labor (as provided for in the Act) interpretations of the Act, and rules and regulations in the enforcement of the Act, that are viewed differently by various interested parties. Details of the Act that have led, and continue to lead, to differences of opinion; examples of controversies that have arisen in the first 4 years of the enforcement of the Act are discussed.Keywords
