The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is an agency of the United States Department of Labor.

Congress established the agency under the Occupational Safety and Health Act, which President Richard M.

Nixon signed into law on December 29, 1970.

OSHA's mission is to "assure safe and healthful working conditions for working men and women by setting and enforcing standards and by providing training, outreach, education and assistance".

The agency is also charged with enforcing a variety of whistleblower statutes and regulations.

OSHA is currently headed by Assistant Secretary of Labor David Michaels.

OSHA's workplace safety inspections have been shown to reduce injury rates and injury costs without adverse effects to employment, sales, credit ratings, or firm survival.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or sometimes USEPA) is an agency of the Federal government of the United States which was created for the purpose of protecting human health and the environment by writing and enforcing regulations based on laws passed by Congress.

The EPA was proposed by President Richard Nixon and began operation on December 2, 1970, after Nixon signed an executive order.

The order establishing the EPA was ratified by committee hearings in the House and Senate.

The agency is led by its Administrator, who is appointed by the president and approved by Congress.

The current administrator is Scott Pruitt.

The EPA is not a Cabinet department, but the administrator is normally given cabinet rank.

A wage is monetary compensation (or remuneration, personnel expenses, labor) paid by an employer to an employee in exchange for work done.

Payment may be calculated as a fixed amount for each task completed (a task wage or piece rate), or at an hourly or daily rate (wage labour), or based on an easily measured quantity of work done.

Employment is a relationship between two parties, usually based on a contract where work is paid for, where one party, which may be a corporation, for profit, not-for-profit organization, co-operative or other entity is the employer and the other is the employee.

Employees work in return for payment, which may be in the form of an hourly wage, by piecework or an annual salary, depending on the type of work an employee does or which sector she or he is working in.

Employees in some fields or sectors may receive gratuities, bonus payment or stock options.

In some types of employment, employees may receive benefits in addition to payment.

Benefits can include health insurance, housing, disability insurance or use of a gym.

Employment is typically governed by employment laws or regulations or legal contracts.
