The difference is that the EPA has national jurisdiction over the protection and enforcement of environmental laws, pollution emittance laws, air quality standards..etc. etc. The members of the EPA are appointments made by the majority party of experts in the various fields.
OSHA has a national branch in Washington, but it's main enforcers of safe working conditions are at the state level. OSHA has developed a set of standards and practices for all aspects of on the job conduct by employees and employers. Many jobsites throughout the U.S. require that the workforce complete coursework and receive certifications before the employee can be hired.

The EPA is the Environmental Protection Agency, and is supposed to do just that, protect the environment. OSHA is the Occupational Safety and Health Association, and is a governing body dedicated to worker safety.

The Environmental Protections Agency (EPA) is concerned with the environment. Protecting the air, land and water.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is concerned with workplace safety and health of the workers.

The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) is the government agency that deals with hazardous chemical spills, industrial emissions, and other threats to the habitats of wildlife and of people as well. They regulate industry and can fine businesses found guilty of violating environmental laws
OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) is only concerned with keeping employees safe from preventable accidents and hazardous workplace environments. They regulate workplaces and can fine businesses who violate workplace health and safety laws.

First let me say that I'm too much of a "realist" sometimes. Whether that is a bad thing or a good thing *shrugs* I don't know. But I've always approached Yahoo Answers as "life" just as I approach life outside of Y!A as..... "life." In other words..... I seriously see no difference. What I see happening here pretty much mirrors my life outside of this realm. In marriage, it does indeed start out so exciting and intriguing as you learn and grow and explore different things together. It was the same for me when I began YA. In marriage you do indeed for the first time in your life have limits and restrictions that you never had before. You made vows to stay loyal... to love... to honor and cherish. Cheating just should not enter into the picture ever. Hmmmmm...... seems we have those same restrictions on Yahoo Answers. Didn't we agree to follow the rules when we signed on? So as the years pass in marriage, so many changes occur, just as I've seen soooooo many changes in format here on YA. So you have two types of people here. Those that complain about the changes and have to grumble and mumble and make it known how disatisfied they are. And you have those that accept the changes, make a few alterations...... and keep plugging along without missing a beat. If they weren't happy with the changes, they know they can leave. Marriage is the same way. We accept the changes in one another and embrace them as we ourselves grow and change too. Sure, there are times when the change is too much..... and divorce is eminent. This is true in YA as well as many many people have left and gone their own ways. In marriage, life can get stagnated and uneventful. Gosh, how many times has this happened to me over the past year and a half? MANY. But look...... I'm still here. As in many marriages, we persevere. We work hard to find new approaches, new ways to find excitement, new things to explore. Again..... if we don't...... we get totally disenchanted with YA..... as we do with marriage. It's all about the approach..... it's all about philosophy of life. It's all how you see every aspect of your life. It is what you make it. I've fought to stay on YA. I fought to maintain a good marriage. Sometimes it works.... sometimes it doesn't. But the approach to both..... I find very much alike.
