Question

Which of these is a worker who is NOT covered by the OSH Act?

Answer 1

The OSH Act covers most private sector employers and their employees in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and other U.S. territories. Coverage is provided either directly by the Federal OSHA or by an OSHA-approved state job safety and health plan.

Answer 2

Answer:

These are the workers or employees which are not covered by OSHA Act:

1. Self-employed people or workers,
2. The family farms which do not cover the criteria set by the institution(OSHA).
3. The local government and state employees of those companies which are not registered with the OSHA.

Explanation:

• OSH(Occupational safety and health):

The OSH Act is basically embodied to provide the basic facilities to all the workers associated with the projects that that are registered OSHA(Occupational Safety and Health Administration).

While the OSH Act does covers mostly the employees of the private sector. But, it does have some exemptions to that as it does not cover most of the employees due to there employer being unregistered with the institution.
