A. True

Explanation

If you believe that you have faced consequences or retribution for asserting your safety rights, you are given a 30-day window to reach out to OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) about the issue. This suggests that OSHA provides a specific timeframe within which individuals can report any perceived punishment related to exercising their safety rights. Therefore, the statement is true.

Correct Answer

A. Willful and repeated

Explanation

A company can receive citations from OSHA for violating safety regulations. The worst types of citations a company can receive are "willful" and "repeated" citations. A "willful" citation means that the company intentionally violated safety regulations or showed a disregard for employee safety. A "repeated" citation means that the company has been cited for the same violation in the past. These types of citations indicate a severe lack of concern for employee safety and can result in higher penalties and potential legal consequences for the company.
