Which organization is responsible for workplace safety?

• A. Caliper
• B. Micrometer
• C. OSHA
• D. Torque

Answer: (C)

Workplace safety is overseen by a government agency that writes and enforces safety standards, conducts inspections, and provides training to help employers and employees maintain safe conditions. That agency is OSHA—the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. OSHA develops regulations across topics like PPE, machine guarding, hazard communication, and emergency procedures, and it supports compliance through guidance, training, and inspections, with penalties for violations when needed. The other terms are tools: a caliper and a micrometer measure dimensions with precision, while torque refers to the turning force used on fasteners. They relate to how work is done, not which organization is responsible for safety regulation and enforcement.
