True or False: Workers can disregard OSHA standards if they deem it safe to do so.

  1. True

  2. False

  3. Only in emergencies

  4. Only if their supervisor agrees

The correct answer is: False

The statement is false because OSHA standards are legally enforceable regulations designed to ensure safe and healthful working conditions. Workers are required to comply with these standards, regardless of their personal assessment of safety. Disregarding these regulations can lead to hazardous situations, not only for the individual but also for their coworkers. OSHA regulations are based on research and established safety protocols, so it is crucial to follow them to maintain a safe workplace environment. The belief that workers can decide to ignore these standards undermines the purpose of OSHA and can result in severe consequences, including injuries or fatalities on the job.
