What does OSHA stand for?

• A. Occupational Safety and Health Administration
• B. Occupational Sanitation and Hygiene Agency
• C. Organization for Safety and Health Administration
• D. Outside Safety and Hygiene Administration

Answer: (A)

OSHA stands for Occupational Safety and Health Administration. This refers to a U.S. government agency under the Department of Labor that protects workers by creating and enforcing safety and health standards in the workplace. The word “occupational” points to work-related concerns, “safety and health” covers the two main areas of focus, and “administration” indicates an official government body responsible for implementing rules. The other phrasings don’t fit because they either use the wrong terms (sanitation and hygiene, which emphasizes cleanliness rather than overall safety and health) or describe a different type of entity (organization or agency instead of the actual administration).
