They’re both federal U.S. regulatory agencies created by Congress to protect the public interest by writing and enforcing rules.

Common features:
- Both exercise rule‑making and enforcement authority (OSHA for workplace safety, the SEC for securities/markets).
- Both investigate, audit/inspect, and can bring civil enforcement actions and levy fines.
- Both require regulated entities to keep records and follow compliance programs and reporting requirements.
- Both were established by statute and operate within the executive branch (OSHA in the Dept. of Labor; the SEC as an independent agency).
- Both aim to reduce harm (physical harm in the workplace vs. financial harm to investors/markets).
