Answer 1

A: Competent Person

Step-by-step explanation:

An OSHA “competent person”, by way of training and/or experience, has knowledge of applicable standards and authority to stop work deemed hazardous or that may cause harm to an employee. He/she has the authority, given from above, to correct workplace hazards. Such authority sets OSHA’S competent person apart from OSHA’S qualified person.
