The Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) was created to assure the safety and health of America's workers by setting and enforcing standards, providing training and education in safety and health. OSHA was established in the late sixties, by the Nixon administration. They feared for the workingman, especially in the booming of the modern American industrialism. Nixon was concerned that the workingman would be pushed aside and forgot about as machines took over, but he made a plan to prevent all that from happening with the Occupational Safety and Health Act. The purpose of this act was to prevent the times when the workingman was looked at and used as a tool that could be thrown around and disregarded.
OSHA has approximately 2100 inspectors, plus complaint discrimination investigators, engineers, physicians, educators, standards writers, and other technical and support personnel spread over more than 200 offices throughout the country. The OSHA staff makes the protective standards, enforces those standards, and reaches out to employers and employees through technical assistance and consultation programs.

Good compilation of facts, but nothing you can't get from a simple search on Google. Also, repeating minor facts (2100 inspectors) is useless. For a tenth grade essay, it's not as bad as the ratings will indicate.
