As anyone working in the United States knows, occupational health and safety is highly regulated in many industries. There are so many local, state, and national laws and regulations that it's difficult to keep them all straight. We even find conflicting compliance issues that are virtually impossible to resolve.

However, it will likely become important for any manager who's concerned about employee health and safety.
This article looks at OHSAS 18001 and its possible applications in the United States.
