<span>-Assure the safety and health of workers at the workplace, wherever that may be.
-Consult with and advise employers, employees, and representative organizations of the effective means of preventing occupational injuries and illnesses.
<span>-Conduct workplace inspections and investigations to determine whether employers are complying with standards.
