Final answer:
The statement is false; it is the employer's responsibility to provide safety training to workers as mandated by OSHA, regardless of the organization's size.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement that training and instructing employees in the recognition and avoidance of unsafe conditions is the responsibility of the insurance agency representative in organizations with 250 employees or more is false. Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), it is the employer's responsibility to provide a safe workplace, which includes providing safety training to workers. Employers must inform workers about chemical hazards, keep accurate records of work-related injuries and illnesses, provide personal protective equipment at no cost to workers, and offer training on dangerous jobs in a language and vocabulary that workers can understand. These responsibilities are in place regardless of the size of the organization, and it is not the duty of an insurance agency representative to ensure compliance with OSHA standards.
