CFR 1910 covers which broad category?

• A. Construction
• B. Maritime
• C. Agriculture
• D. General Industry

Answer: (D)

CFR 1910 represents OSHA General Industry standards, applying to a broad range of non-construction workplaces. These rules establish baseline safety and health requirements for many everyday settings—factories, warehouses, laboratories, and service operations—covering topics like hazard communication, personal protective equipment, machine guarding, electrical safety, and walking-working surfaces. That wide scope is what makes it the general category.

Other areas are handled separately: construction has its own set of rules focused on building and demolition sites, maritime safety is governed by other parts of the CFR and related maritime standards, and agriculture operates under different provisions tailored to farming environments. So, CFR 1910 is the general industry section because it spans the broad, non-construction workplace safety rules that apply across many industries.
