Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since Greenway has not violated any OSHA standards, it is most likely that they comply with OSHA's general duty provision, which requires employers to provide a workplace that is free from recognized hazards that are causing or could cause death or serious physical harm to employees. Keeping workers' compensation records on file for OSHA (B) or adhering to the fellow-servant rule (D) are not directly related to preventing workplace accidents, and inviting OSHA inspectors to review safety procedures each week (A) would be an excessive measure for a company that is already complying with OSHA standards.
