The Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission (OSHRC or Review Commission) is an independent federal agency that plays a vital role in ensuring safe and healthy workplaces and working conditions for American workers. It provides fair and timely adjudication of work-related safety and health disputes between employers, employees or their representatives, and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), an agency of the United States Department of Labor. 

The Review Commission was created by the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 as an independent agency entirely separate from the Department of Labor and OSHA, the agency charged with setting workplace safety and health standards and with inspecting workplaces to enforce compliance with those standards. This separation ensures that all parties—OSHA, employers, affected employees, and authorized employee representatives—receive an impartial hearing before the Review Commission.
