Answer option C is incorrect. The exit routes standard is one of the six standards defined by OSHA.

Answer option D is incorrect. The fire safety standard is one of the six standards defined by OSHA.

Answer option A is incorrect. The emergency action plan standard is one of the six standards defined by OSHA.

Yeah, B is definitely not a standard. OSHA focuses on health and safety.

I think it's B) Equity pay standard. Doesn't seem OSHA-related.

I’m confused about the fire safety standard. I thought it was important, but maybe it’s not one of the six core standards?

I feel like I’ve seen a question similar to this before, and I’m pretty sure the equity pay standard isn’t one of OSHA’s.

I think the emergency action plan and exit routes are definitely part of OSHA, but I can't recall if fire safety is a separate standard or not.

I remember studying the OSHA standards, but I’m not entirely sure about the equity pay standard. It doesn’t sound like it fits with the others.
