SWLCAT Book 1-1 Practice Test

Employers covered by the Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Act are indeed required to comply with the standards set forth by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). This applies to most private sector employers and requires them to adhere to specific safety and health regulations to ensure a safe working environment for their employees. The OSH Act establishes the legal framework for safeguarding workers from various hazards in the workplace, and compliance with OSHA standards is mandatory for organizations operating in jurisdictions under the act.

The other choices imply either conditional compliance or an option not to comply, which does not align with the overall legal obligations that employers have under the OSH Act. The requirement to adhere to OSHA standards is a foundational component of workplace safety regulation and does not depend on the circumstances or employer discretion.
