Final answer:

True. When working on barges, OSHA specifically requires that decks and other working surfaces be maintained in a safe condition.

Step-by-step explanation:

True. When working on barges, OSHA specifically requires that decks and other working surfaces be maintained in a safe condition.

OSHA's standards are designed to protect workers from serious hazards.

This includes requirements for employers to provide fall protection, prevent trenching cave-ins, ensure the safety of workers in confined spaces, and prevent exposure to harmful chemicals.

Employers are also required to comply with the General Duty Clause of the OSH Act, which requires them to keep their workplaces free of recognized hazards.
