Which agency might enforce penalties for being in breach of safety laws?

  1. Federal Trade Commission

  2. Occupational Safety and Health Administration

  3. Civil Rights Division

  4. Environmental Protection Agency

The correct answer is: Occupational Safety and Health Administration

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is the agency specifically responsible for enforcing safety laws in the workplace. Its primary aim is to ensure safe and healthful working conditions for employees by setting and enforcing standards and providing training, outreach, education, and assistance. When businesses do not comply with these safety regulations, OSHA has the authority to impose penalties and fines to enforce compliance. Other agencies, while involved in important regulatory functions, focus on different areas. For example, the Federal Trade Commission deals with consumer protection and antitrust issues, the Civil Rights Division focuses on civil rights violations, and the Environmental Protection Agency is concerned with environmental regulations and protection. Thus, when considering breaches of safety laws specifically, OSHA is the clearly designated agency tasked with enforcement and ensuring that workplace safety standards are met.
