OSHA revises mission, function statements

Nov 24, 2008

OSHA recently issued an update (.pdf file) to its mission and function statements. The document lists six "significant changes," most of which represent internal shuffling of some offices and their functions. Among them:

• OSHA created the Directorate of Training and Education to take over the missions and functions of the Office of Training and Education, which in turn was removed from the Directorate of Cooperatives and State Programs.
• The Office of Emergency Management and Preparedness was created under the newly renamed Directorate of Technical Support and Emergency Management (formerly the Directorate of Science Technology and Medicine).
