Compile a 2-3-pg executive memorandum to organizational leadership regarding the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and its effectiveness in the workplace. Include the following:
- Describe the mission and function of OSHA. What is OSHA intended to do? Is it working?
- Analyze the impact of OSHA in modern organizations. What does the HRM professional need to know about OSHA?
- Analyze the cost of regulations and enforcement, versus the benefit in reduced worker injury. Is the cost of regulations and enforcement worth the results?
- Develop health- and safety-related best practices for human resources and organizational leadership. Are there different perspectives toward interpretation, monitoring, and compliance with OSHA, and do the differing perspectives enhance or hinder workplace safety?
Your executive memorandum is to be written coherently to support a central idea with correct grammar, usage, and mechanics as expected of a business professional. Support your assessment with citations from relevant readings, and use real-world organization examples to demonstrate the importance of the concepts and analysis you have provided.
