Question

the occupational safety and health administration was created by congress in 1971 and serves a mission to:

• guarantee a workplace free from all hazards.
• ensure safe and healthful workplaces in the united states.
• develop industry consensus standards.
• provide personal protective equipment.

Explanation:

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) was established to ensure safe and healthy working conditions. The option "guarantee a workplace free from all hazards" is unrealistic as eliminating all hazards is not feasible. "Develop industry consensus standards" is not OSHA's main mission (consensus standards are more related to organizations like ANSI), and "provide personal protective equipment" is not OSHA's role (they set standards for PPE use but don't provide it). The correct mission is to ensure safe and healthful workplaces in the US.

Answer:

B. ensure safe and healthful workplaces in the United States.
