The statement: The workers OSH seminar and other trainings/orientations as required by the employer and by any law shall be at cost on the worker and considered as compensable working time.

• A. Not stated
• B. False
• C. N/A
• D. True

Answer: (B)

OSHA/BOSH safety training that is required by the employer and by law should be provided at the employer’s expense, and the time spent in that training is considered working time and compensable. The statement is false because it puts the cost on the worker, whereas the employer is responsible for paying for mandated safety trainings and the hours spent in training are paid as part of the job. This ensures workers aren’t financially burdened for meeting safety requirements and that training time is treated as work time. If the training happens during normal hours, it’s paid time; if it occurs outside those hours, the employer’s compensation or leave policies still apply, but the cost should not fall on the employee.
