ESSAYBID ANSWER

ANS: B
OSHA has record-keeping requirements that mandate the employer to keep records of work-related injuries, illnesses, and deaths. These records must be posted in the workplace for 1 month per year and made available for review by OSHA at any time. In many cases, the OHN has full responsibility for compliance with this standard.
