Which of the following is NOT an element of safety and health programs suggested by MOSH?

  1. Hazard prevention and control

  2. Management commitment and employee involvement

  3. Minimum wage legislation

  4. Safety and health training

The correct answer is: Minimum wage legislation

The correct choice highlights that minimum wage legislation is not an element of safety and health programs suggested by the Maryland Occupational Safety and Health (MOSH). Safety and health programs are primarily concerned with creating a safe working environment, preventing workplace injuries and illnesses, and ensuring that safety protocols are followed. Elements such as hazard prevention and control, management commitment, employee involvement, and safety and health training are directly related to mitigating risks and promoting safe practices in the workplace. They involve identifying hazards, implementing safety measures, engaging employees in safety processes, and providing necessary training to work safely. Minimum wage legislation, while an important labor law, focuses on economic aspects such as the compensation of workers rather than the safety measures or health protocols required for a safe working environment. Thus, it does not fit within the framework of a safety and health program as proposed by MOSH.
