OSHA is a regulatory agency of which government department?

• A. Health and Human Services
• B. Labor
• C. Education
• D. Transportation

Answer: (B)

OSHA, the agency that sets and enforces workplace safety and health standards, operates under the U.S. Department of Labor. This alignment reflects the department’s broader mission to protect workers and improve their conditions in the workplace. The other departments cover different domains—Health and Human Services focuses on public health and social services, Education handles schooling and learning policies, and Transportation oversees movement of people and goods—so they are not the parent agency for OSHA.
