OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) categorizes its regulations and standards into four main categories: General Industry, Construction, Maritime, and Agriculture. Each category addresses specific safety and health hazards relevant to those sectors. General Industry covers a wide range of workplaces, while Construction focuses on safety practices for building sites. Maritime pertains to the shipping and fishing industries, and Agriculture addresses safety in farming and related activities.
