Fundamentals of Management, 8th ed

Health and Safety

Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSHA): Mandates the provision of

safe working conditions

As much as any area

of management,

HRM is subject to

wide-ranging laws

and court decisions.

These laws and

decisions affect the

human resource

function in many

areas. For example,

AT&T was once

fined several million

dollars for violating

Title VII of the Civil

Rights Act of 1964.
