What does OSHA stand for?

Operational Safety Hazard Association
Occupational Safety and Health Administration
Organizational Safety and Health Agency
Official Safety Health Act

The correct answer is: Occupational Safety and Health Administration

OSHA stands for Occupational Safety and Health Administration, which is a federal agency under the US Department of Labor. The other options are incorrect because A: There is no such organization as the "Operational Safety Hazard Association." C: There is no such organization as the "Organizational Safety and Health Agency." D: There is no such act as the "Official Safety Health Act." OSHA was created by Congress in 1970 through the Occupational Safety and Health Act, but OSHA and the Act are not interchangeable. Overall, all three incorrect options are not relevant or accurate when discussing the acronym OSHA. It is important to know the correct acronym and its meaning in order to understand its significance in workplace safety and health regulations.
