The U.S. Department of Labor/Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) administers and enforces federal workplace safety and health requirements in private sector workplaces. The Wisconsin Department of Commerce (WDC)/Safety and Buildings Division administers the state workplace safety and health rules for public sector workplaces.
