What does OSHA stand for?

• A. Office of Safety and Health Administration
• B. Occupational Safety and Health Administration
• C. Occupational Safety and Health Act
• D. Occupational Services and Health Administration

Answer: (B)

OSHA stands for Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the U.S. federal agency responsible for promoting safe and healthy workplaces. It operates under the Department of Labor and was created by the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 to set and enforce standards, provide training and outreach, and conduct inspections to protect workers, including those involved in pesticide application. The other options don’t fit because one refers to a non-existent agency, another names the law itself rather than the agency, and the last mixes terms that aren’t part of the federal structure.
