Additional Duty Safety Course Practice Exam

OSHA standards are designed primarily for civilian workplaces to ensure safe and healthy work environments. The Department of Defense and the Army operate under their own safety regulations and directives that may align with OSHA standards but are not strictly bound by them. The Army has specific policies and regulations governing safety, which are developed to meet military operational needs and may differ from civilian safety regulations. This unique structure means that OSHA does not have jurisdiction over the Army, making its standards not directly applicable to military operations or personnel. Consequently, the Army has the discretion to create and enforce its safety standards that reflect military requirements and environments.
