The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is a federal agency within the US Department of Labor responsible for ensuring safe and healthful working conditions for workers by setting and enforcing standards, as well as providing training, outreach, education, and assistance. While OSHA regulations don't directly cover astronauts or spaceflight participants, they do apply to NASA's ground workforce and can influence safety standards within the broader space industry. OSHA also provides guidance and sets permissible exposure limits for various hazards, including noise and chemicals, which can be relevant to space-related activities.
