The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is primarily responsible for ensuring safe and healthy working conditions by enforcing regulations and standards aimed at protecting workers from potential hazards. This involves inspecting workplaces, especially those identified as high-hazard environments, to ensure compliance with safety standards designed to minimize risks of injury or illness. OSHA's proactive approach includes not only inspections but also the development of educational resources to promote safety awareness and adherence to regulations. The other options focus on aspects that are outside the primary scope of OSHA's responsibilities. Compensating workers or providing rehabilitation for injuries falls under workers' compensation programs, which are typically managed at the state level, while disciplining workers does not align with OSHA's role in workplace safety and health enforcement.
