To promote employee wellness
To increase productivity

The correct answer is: To regulate toxic substances

The primary reason for the establishment of OSHA, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, was to regulate toxic substances and ensure workplace safety. OSHA was created to set and enforce standards that protect workers from hazardous conditions and toxic substances that can lead to occupational injuries and illnesses. The agency develops regulations aimed at reducing exposure to harmful chemicals and ensuring that employees have a safe working environment. The focus on toxic substances is critical in industries where workers might be exposed to chemicals that can cause immediate or long-term health issues. Through inspections, standards, and guidelines, OSHA plays a vital role in fostering safer workplaces, which directly contributes to the overall mission of ensuring that every worker has the right to a safe and healthful work environment.
