Abstract
The Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act) effective
29 December 1970 (P. L. 91-596) and its impact on the
U. S. Naval Construction Force (NCF) is examined.
The history of the occupational safety legislation in
the United States is summarized and discussed. The OSH Act
is condensed and interpreted as to meaning.
Existing safety programs within the Navy Department, the
Naval Facilities Engineering Command, and the Naval Construction
Force are discussed and compared with the intent
of the OSH Act.
Specific conclusions on current attitudes towards the OSH
Act and safety in the Navy are made, and recommendations
for improvement are generated.
