Which industry is not covered by OSHA standards?

• A. Food & Drug Industry
• B. Construction
• C. Manufacturing
• D. Education

Answer: (A)

OSHA standards protect workers by setting requirements for hazards, protective equipment, and safe operation across many job settings. In construction and manufacturing, these rules are directly applied to prevent common on-the-job hazards, and schools or other education workplaces with staff and students have to follow applicable safety standards for employees. The Food & Drug Industry, on the other hand, is primarily regulated for product safety by the FDA and related agencies, with safety rules focused on how foods and drugs are produced and tested rather than on workplace safety standards executed by OSHA. So, in this context, the industry most typically not governed by OSHA standards is the Food & Drug Industry.
