Which organization is responsible for enforcing workplace safety standards in the U.S.?

  1. EPA (Environmental Protection Agency)

  2. CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)

  3. OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration)

  4. FDA (Food and Drug Administration)

The correct answer is: OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration)

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is the organization specifically tasked with ensuring safe and healthy working conditions for employees in the United States. OSHA sets and enforces standards, provides training and education, and offers guidance on workplace safety practices. By establishing regulations designed to reduce hazards in the workplace, OSHA plays a crucial role in protecting workers from injuries and illnesses related to their jobs. This focus on occupational safety distinguishes OSHA from other organizations such as the EPA, which deals with environmental protection, the CDC, which focuses on public health and disease prevention, and the FDA, which oversees food and drug safety.
