It basically means a work environment that is both healthy and safe for the workers.
A lot of work places contain hazardous materials and conditions. For example, auto shops. Anti-freeze are poisonous. Exhaust gas is deadly. Gasoline are flammable. If a car is to fall out of the lift, it can crush the technician. Running motor can chop your fingers off.
All these dangers must be properly identified, employees trained, and proper protective gears and safety locks engaged.
All that constitutes occupational health and safety.
Even in grocery stores, lifting frozen food can damage ones back. Slippery floor can injure workers. Meat slicer can cut off fingers. Many places are a lot more dangerous than most people realize.

This is a government agency that sets the standards for workplace safety. Sometimes, if the company is not following the standard for their type of business, an employee can be hurt. When OSHA investigates if there are violations the company is fined and required to fix all violations

Read the words and put a little thought into them. They will make their own sense to you.
