What does OSHA stand for?

• A. Occupational Safety & Health Administration
• B. Occupational Safety and Health Association
• C. Safe Workplace Authority
• D. Office of Safety and Health Administration

Answer: (A)

OSHA is the federal agency in the United States that sets and enforces workplace safety and health standards. Its full name is Occupational Safety and Health Administration, with "Occupational" referring to work, "Safety" and "Health" covering the two main protected areas, and "Administration" indicating a government entity. The other options describe different kinds of organizations (a membership association, a non-existent “Safe Workplace Authority,” or a differently named office), but they are not the federal safety agency responsible for workplace rules.
