OSHA is the government agency that does what?

• A. Enforces safety and health standards in the workforce.
• B. Sets packaging labels for consumer products.
• C. Regulates cosmetics only.
• D. Oversees medical insurance.

Answer: (A)

OSHA's role is to protect workers by setting and enforcing safety and health standards in the workplace. It creates rules to manage hazards, requires employers to provide training and protective equipment, and conducts inspections to ensure those rules are followed. When standards aren’t met, OSHA can issue citations and require corrective actions to improve safety, which helps reduce risks from chemical exposure, hazardous equipment, and other common workplace dangers. The other options describe responsibilities handled by different agencies—labeling for consumer products is not OSHA’s function, cosmetics regulation is mainly FDA territory, and medical insurance oversight is governed by health and insurance regulators.
