Center for Safety and Health

The Center for Safety and Health (CSH) is the U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Consultation Program for Mississippi. It was created in the early 1970's as the Branch of Occupational Safety and Health, a part of the Mississippi State Board of Health. In 1991 the branch was elevated to division status and in 1992 was relocated to the Mississippi Workers' Compensation Commission. In 1994 the division was transferred to Mississippi State University and designated a center. The purpose of the CSH is to provide assistance to the employers or managers of small and medium size high-hazard businesses in Mississippi by helping them come into compliance with the regulations of OSHA. The CSH is located off-campus in Brandon, Mississippi.
