Abstract
Abstract Because of updates and reauthorization, regulations covering health, safety, and environmental issues change continuously and specifications can become outdated. Regulatory agencies provide assistance regarding the laws and regulations of these issues. The two main federal agencies involved in the protection of human health and the environment are the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Primary laws covered by the EPA are the Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA); the Clean Water Act (CWA); Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA); Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA); Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA); and the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). The principal function of OSHA is the protection of people in the workplace. Other functions of regulatory agencies, eg, agriculture, commerce, defense, and energy, are discussed.
