OSHA will be celebrating 50 years of workplace safety and health on April 28, 2021. President Nixon signed the Occupational Safety and Health Act on December 29, 1970, which was enacted on April 28, 1971. In its first half century, OSHA has helped transform America's workplaces in ways that have significantly reduced workplace fatalities, injuries, and illnesses. Learn more about the agency's five decades of progress and its efforts to continue fulfilling the promise of the Occupational Safety and Health Act here.

Events in celebration will be taking place April 28. Check back to OSHA's website for future event details.
