Which of the following is NOT required to follow OSHA standards?

  1. Religious establishments

  2. General contractor with one employee

  3. Landscape contractors

  4. Equipment rental businesses

The correct answer is: Religious establishments

Religious establishments are not required to adhere to OSHA standards because they are often considered exempt entities. This exemption applies to many religious organizations under specific circumstances to protect the freedom of religion as outlined in the First Amendment. While OSHA sets standards to ensure workplace safety across a variety of sectors, religious organizations may not fall under its jurisdiction due to this protective measure, allowing them to operate without the same regulatory requirements imposed on other types of businesses. In contrast, general contractors, regardless of their size, landscape contractors, and equipment rental businesses typically do fall under OSHA regulations because they are engaged in activities that involve potential hazards and risks to workers. These businesses are required to comply with OSHA standards to promote a safe working environment. Thus, recognizing the unique position of religious establishments helps clarify why they are not obligated to follow OSHA regulations while the other options are firmly subject to these safety standards.
