Which of the following is NOT considered an issue addressed by OSHA standards?

  1. Workplace safety

  2. Exposure to harmful substances

  3. Gender equality in the workplace

  4. Use of proper protective equipment

The correct answer is: Gender equality in the workplace

The focus of OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) standards is primarily on workplace safety, including the prevention of accidents, exposure to harmful substances, and the use of proper protective equipment to ensure a safe working environment. These standards aim to protect employees from injury and health risks associated with their jobs. Gender equality in the workplace, while an important aspect of overall workplace rights and conditions, falls under different regulatory frameworks and is not specifically addressed by OSHA. Instead, issues of gender equality are typically managed by other regulations and agencies focused on civil rights and discrimination, such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Therefore, since OSHA's standards are centered around safety and health rather than equality, the correct answer highlights a topic not generally governed by OSHA regulations.
