Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission


The Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission (OSHRC) is an independent agency created by Congress in the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970. The agency’s primary function is to decide contests of citations or penalties that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issues to employers following safety and health inspections of American workplaces. In doing so, the agency provides OSHA, employers, and employees and/or their representative with a fair and expeditious resolution of these contested cases.


OSHRC is a completely independent agency that is not part of the Department of Labor or OSHA. This ensures that OSHA’s enforcement actions are carried out in accordance with the law.
