Which organization is responsible for workplace safety regulations in the U.S.?

  1. IICRC

  2. NIOSH

  3. OSHA

  4. ANSI

The correct answer is: OSHA

The organization that is responsible for workplace safety regulations in the U.S. is OSHA, which stands for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. OSHA was created to ensure safe and healthful working conditions for workers by setting and enforcing standards, as well as providing training, outreach, education, and assistance. One of its primary roles is to establish regulations that employers must follow to protect employees from hazardous conditions. This includes areas related to mold remediation where specific safety protocols are necessary to prevent health risks associated with mold exposure. Other organizations mentioned, such as NIOSH, focus on research and recommendations regarding workplace safety and health but do not enforce regulations. The IICRC is involved in certification standards for the cleaning and restoration industry, while ANSI develops standards for various industries, but does not specifically govern workplace safety regulations like OSHA does.
