True or False: OSHA 29 CFR 1926 Subpart J is a US labor law governing occupational health and safety in the private sector and federal government.

• A. True
• B. It applies only private sector
• C. False
• D. It applies only federal government

Answer: (C)

OSHA standards are designed to protect workers in private-sector workplaces and in states with OSHA-approved plans. Federal government employees aren’t covered by OSHA’s enforcement in the same way; they follow a separate federal safety and health program (FEOSH) within federal agencies. Subpart J is a part of the construction safety regulations under OSHA, not a blanket law that applies to both private sector and the federal government. So the statement is not correct.
