Answer:
The correct answer is Occupational Safety and Health Act.
Step-by-step explanation:
The United States is formed as a federal state composed of 50 states and the District of Columbia, in which there is the particularity that each of them has its own legislative powers; that is to say, that the legislative faculty will be distributed between the Federal Government and the different States, being the Federal legislation of obligatory fulfillment in all the States and the state one at the level of the State that promulgates it.
Based on this particularity, we see that the occupational health and safety legislation derives from a Federal Law, the Occupational Health Law (OSH Act of 1970) which establishes in its wording the obligation of companies to comply with the requirements of safety and health and to provide a workplace free of hazards.
As of the Act, and as a development of this General Law and at the federal level, currently known as Standards 29-CFR are in force: different written standards for specific industries, such as the following:
- 29 CFR 1910 occupational health and safety standards General Industry.
- 29 CFR 1926 occupational health and safety standards for construction.
- 29 CFR 1915 occupational health and safety standards for shipyards.
- 29 CFR 1917 occupational health and safety standards for marine terminals.
- 29 CFR 1918 occupational health and safety standards for stowage.
- 29 CFR 1928 occupational health and safety standards for agriculture.
As a peculiarity, it is worth mentioning that within each of these standards all of the applicable legislation on occupational safety and health is included (unlike other laws that have many and varied legal texts depending on the different thematic).
