What Role Do Regulations Play in Health Surveillance?
Regulations play a critical role in shaping health surveillance programs by setting standards and guidelines for exposure limits, monitoring procedures, and reporting requirements. Compliance with these regulations ensures a consistent approach to managing toxicological risks and protects workers' health. Regulatory agencies, such as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), provide oversight and enforcement to ensure adherence to these standards.
