Which CFR part number governs OSHA standards for General Industry?

• A. 1910
• B. 1926
• C. 1900
• D. 1934

Answer: (A)

OSHA's General Industry standards are organized under 29 CFR Part 1910. This part specifically covers safety and health requirements for most non-construction workplaces, including areas like electrical safety, machine guarding, hazard communication, personal protective equipment, and walking-working surfaces. Construction has its own separate set of rules under Part 1926, tailored to the unique risks of construction sites. The other options refer to different scopes and do not govern General Industry. So, the part that applies to General Industry is the one devoted to general industry standards.
