Model of OSH Implementation

United States

The implementation of OSH measures is governed by the OSH Act of 1970 to ensure safe and healthy working conditions and environment for any worker in the USA.

The United Kingdom

The OSH standards in the UK comprise five major principles of transparency, accountability, targeted, consistency, and proportionality.

Australia

The National Uniformity Taskforce, headed by the National Occupational Health and Safety Commission (NOSHC), implements uniform safety standards across the country, a process of standards development and adoption.

Singapore

The Singapore government has institutionalised the entire OSH framework, making stakeholders the leaders of safety standards and subsequently revolutionising the OSH measures. The Workplace Safety and Health Bill (WSHB) was passed in 2006, further ensuring that employers must maintain safety and health precautions in the workplace.
