Market surveillance
Safe machinery, tools and protective equipment to work
The market surveillance carried out by the occupational safety and health administration is aimed at ensuring that machinery, tools and personal protective equipment used by workers comply with the relevant regulations. Inspections usually focus on the manufacturer, importer or retailer who places the products on the market. The goal is to ensure the safety of work equipment.
Products must be safe to use, their safety features must work as intended, and they must be placed on the market in a lawful manner.
