The Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission (OSHRC) is an independent federal agency created under the Occupational Safety and Health Act to decide contests of citations or penalties resulting from OSHA inspections of American work places. It is not part of the Department of Labor or OSHA. It functions as a two-tiered administrative court, with established procedures for conducting hearings, receiving evidence, and rendering decisions by its Administrative Law Judges, and if necessary discretionary review of those decisions by a panel of Commissioners.[1]
