Which regulatory body oversees storage container safety standards?

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is the regulatory body responsible for overseeing workplace safety and health regulations, which include standards related to the safe use and management of storage containers. OSHA sets guidelines that ensure that containers used for storing hazardous materials are designed, maintained, and used in a manner that minimizes risks to workers and the environment. This includes proper labeling, handling procedures, and training requirements for employees who interact with such containers.

While other organizations like the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Department of Transportation (DOT), and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) have important roles in environmental protection, transportation safety, and aviation regulations respectively, OSHA is specifically focused on workplace safety, which directly encompasses storage container safety standards applicable in a variety of settings, including warehouses and industrial facilities.
