Which government agencies are involved in preventing occupational injuries?

  1. Federal and state educational agencies

  2. Federal OSHA and state labor agencies

  3. Tourism and hospitality regulatory bodies

  4. Federal and state agricultural departments

The correct answer is: Federal OSHA and state labor agencies

Explanation The other options are incorrect because they do not specifically address the prevention of occupational injuries. Option A refers to educational agencies, which are focused on providing education rather than regulating workplace safety. Option C refers to tourism and hospitality regulatory bodies, which are primarily concerned with regulating the tourism and hospitality industries. Option D refers to agricultural departments, which are primarily focused on regulating agriculture and farming practices. Option B, on the other hand, accurately identifies the specific government agencies involved in regulating and enforcing occupational safety standards, making it the correct answer.
