OSHA workplace-robotics safety framework (United States)

The US Occupational Safety and Health Administration governs robot and humanoid safety in workplaces, even though no robot-specific OSHA standard exists. Coverage runs primarily through the OSH Act General Duty Clause, Section 5(a)(1), which requires employers to provide a workplace free from recognized hazards; the OSHA Technical Manual (Section IV, Chapter 4, Industrial Robots and Robot System Safety); applicable 29 CFR Part 1910 general-industry standards; and OSHA's recognition of the ANSI/RIA R15.06 consensus standard for industrial robot and robot-system safety as the industry benchmark. NIOSH conducts the supporting workplace-robotics safety research.
