OSHA standards are minimum performance requirements, but what do they require you to adhere to?

• A. The company's internal rules
• B. Your own standard working safety guidelines
• C. Federal criminal law
• D. Local zoning

Answer: (B)

OSHA standards set minimum safety performance levels, and the way those requirements are met in real work is by following the safety practices and procedures your employer has established. Those guidelines translate the federal standards into daily tasks, training, inspections, and controls you actually use on the job. So adhering to your employer’s standard safety guidelines is the practical way to stay compliant. The other options don’t fit because OSHA isn’t about federal criminal law or local zoning, and safety isn’t about personal ad hoc guidelines unrelated to the workplace safety program.
