4.4 Workplace Laws
Christine Malone, EdD
Workplace laws are regulated by the Department of Labor (DOL), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Department of Health (DOH). These laws cover a wide range of topics, including fair pay, overtime, workplace safety, and protections against sexual harassment and non-discrimination. In healthcare settings, OSHA enforces regulations designed to protect employees from potential exposure to infectious materials and other health hazards.
