Question

19. Who among the following is not covered under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970?

Answer 1

Answer:

A farmer with eight employees working for him.

Explanation:

Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 is a federal law concerned with occupational health and safety of workers in the private sector and in federal government.

It states that an employer must provide a working environment for his workers that is safe. For example protection from toxic chemicals, thermal stress, and unsanitary conditions.

People not protected by the act include self employed people, workers in small family farms, and workers in an industry under a seperate federal agency.

So a farmer with eight employees working for him is not covered.
