Workplace Health and Safety Administration

thumb
The Workplace Health and Safety Administration (WHSA) is a regulatory agency of the Jonathian Department of Labour that originally had federal visitorial powers to inspect and examine workplaces. The Jonathian parliament established the agency under the Workplace Health and Safety Act (WHS Act), which prime minister Yon Isanta signed into law on May 30, 1970. WHSA's mission is to "assure safe and healthy working conditions for working men and women by setting and enforcing standards and by providing training, outreach, education, and assistance." The agency is also charged with enforcing a variety of whistleblower statutes and regulations. WHSA's workplace safety inspections have been shown to reduce injury rates and injury costs without adverse effects on employment, sales, credit ratings, or firm survival.
