OSHA stands for which of the following?

• A. Organization for Safety and Health Administration
• B. Occupational Safety and Health Administration
• C. Office of Safety and Health Administration
• D. Occupational Service and Health Administration

Answer: (B)

The idea being tested is knowing the exact expansion of a well-known safety acronym. OSHA stands for Occupational Safety and Health Administration. This is the U.S. federal agency under the Department of Labor that sets and enforces workplace safety standards, provides training and outreach, and conducts inspections to prevent injuries and illnesses on the job. The other options mix up the first word (Organization, Office, or Service) while keeping Administration, which is not the official name. Knowing the official wording helps you connect the acronym to the agency and its role, including its origin in the OSHA Act of 1970.
