External Stressors, such as family issues, financials, and more can have a huge deterrent to an individual, the people they're around, and productivity. External Stressors cause an individual to become distracted, and easily irritable, and may result in an inability for self care. This may manifest with decreased appetite, stress, lack of sleep, depression, and much more which in turn reduces cognitive function, focus, and temper. This can be dangerous to personal and workplaces. It's important to support associates during times of need.

Workplace culture is very pivotal to where you work and how you perceive the environment you're in, if you're in a positive environment with leaders building you up as well as in stealing good values and cultures into you that make you want to strive, provides a supportive environment, and gives you hope and desire to enjoy your workplace it gives you morale, and directly result in more productivity for your organization but also happier employees. Just as positive great leaders and great values instilled in those leaders the opposite can be true, toxic and self-centered leadership can result in a negative work environment that degrades someone mental health and morale and reduce his productivity.

Data Gathering
OSHA collects occupational injury and illness data and information on number of workers employed and number of hours worked from establishments in portions of the private sector. These data allows  OSHA to calculate occupational injury and illness rates and to focuses its efforts on individual workplaces with ongoing serious safety and health problems. Successful implementation of the data collection system is critical to OSHA's reinvention efforts. This allows the Agency to deal with a larger number of employers without massive increases in resources and reduces intrusive interventions in workplaces that are relatively safe, and will lead to improved workplace safety and health for America's workers.
Safety Visits.
OSHA inspectors are experienced and well-trained industrial hygienists and safety professionals whose goal is to assure compliance with OSHA requirements and help employers and workers reduce on-the-job hazards and prevent injuries, illnesses, and deaths in the workplace.
Normally, OSHA conducts inspections without advance notice. Employers have the right to require compliance officers to obtain an inspection warrant before entering the worksite.
OSHA Fines
Violations of OSHA standards or serious hazards, result in citations and fines. OSHA must issue a citation and proposed penalty within six months of the violation’s occurrence. Violations are categorized as
willful, serious, other-than-serious, de minimis, failure to abate, and repeated.
