Question

Rachel lives and works on her father’s dairy farm as a large animal veterinarian. The farm does not employ any outside workers. One of the cows is having a difficult time delivering her calf. As Rachel approaches to help, the cow kicks wildly, breaking Rachel’s arm. Is Rachel covered under the OSH Act?

Answer 1

Answer:

D. No, because Rachel's family farm does not employ outside workers.

Explanation:

The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 in its most rudimentary form is a law in the United States meant to govern the occupational health and safety of federal government employees and the private sector as well.

Option D is correct because the law does not cover immediate family members on farms that do not employ outside employees.
