Government AdministrationDistrict of Columbia, United States11-50 Employees

The Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission is an independent federal agency within the government administration sector, based in Washington, DC. Established by the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, the Commission provides impartial adjudication of disputes involving workplace safety and health between employers, employees or their representatives, and OSHA, the Labor Department agency that sets standards and conducts inspections. Its role is to ensure fair hearings in safety-and-health matters, separate from the entities that set and enforce standards, thereby supporting due process for all parties involved. The organization serves the U.S. workforce by interpreting and applying workplace safety and health regulations through formal review proceedings, and it has periodically appointed commissioners and judges to oversee its adjudicatory functions. Recent developments include leadership changes and new appointments to the Commission, reflecting ongoing governance of its statutory responsibilities.
