OSHA was created in 1970 when the Occupational Safety and Health Act was signed into law. This established a federal framework to set and enforce workplace safety standards, conduct inspections, and require safety training to reduce injuries and illnesses. In veterinary practice, that translates to applying safety protocols for handling anesthetics and chemicals, managing biological hazards, using proper PPE, and maintaining exposure control and hazard communication programs. The key point is the year the act was enacted: 1970.
