Which of the following were listed as federal government agencies?

• A. NIOSH
• B. OSHA
• C. NIST
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

All of the above are federal government agencies. NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) is part of the CDC within the Department of Health and Human Services and focuses on research and recommendations to prevent work-related injuries and illnesses. OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) is under the Department of Labor and is responsible for setting and enforcing workplace safety and health standards. NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) is within the Department of Commerce and develops measurement standards and technology guidelines that underpin many industries and government programs. Because each is a federal agency, the choice that includes all of them is the correct one.
