OSHA was established to:

• A. Establish workplace safety standards
• B. Enforce environmental regulations
• C. Regulate corporate taxes
• D. Manage transportation safety

Answer: (A)

OSHA exists to set and enforce standards that keep workers safe and healthy on the job. Created by the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, its role is to establish federal safety requirements, inspect workplaces, and enforce penalties for noncompliance, while also offering training and outreach to improve safety culture. This focus on workplace safety distinguishes it from environmental regulation (handled by the EPA), taxes (handled by the IRS), or transportation safety (overseen by agencies like the FMCSA). So the best answer is the one that emphasizes establishing and enforcing workplace safety standards.
