Final answer:

The Workers Compensation Bureau does not inspect risks for classification or rating purposes, which is typically under OSHA's responsibilities. Its duties are related to managing claims, statistics for premiums, and ensuring policy compliance.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function that is NOT a duty of the Workers Compensation Bureau is to inspect risks for classification or rating purposes. The core duties of the Workers Compensation Bureau do include determining which claims are approved and which are denied, providing reliable statistics and rating information used to help establish premiums, and examining policies and other evidences of insurance to check for compliance with the law.

Workers Compensation Bureaus are generally not involved with the actual inspection of workplace conditions; this is typically a responsibility of organizations like the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). OSHA ensures that workers have safe working conditions, can file complaints, and are protected from retaliation for reporting unsafe working conditions or for exercising their rights under the law.
