OSHA is a federal regulatory agency whose function is to assure safe workplaces. It does this by establishing occupational safety and health standards and by inspecting workplaces to determine whether they are in compliance with the regulations. Radiation exposure from all nonmining radiation sources that are not regulated by the NRC, such as X‐ray machines, are subject to OSHA regulation. Because of OSHA's limited resources, however, safety regulation of these radiation sources in Agreement States is left to the state. OSHA regulations are based on ICRP 2 recommendations. It should be noted that although OSHA is authorized to regulate and inspect to determine compliance with the regulations, it is not authorized to license any facility. OSHA's radiation regulations are found in 29 CFR 1910.1096.
