Which of the following is NOT an OSHA inspection type?

• A. Random Drug Test
• B. Complaint
• C. Fatality/Accident
• D. Programmed

Answer: (A)

The thing being tested is your knowledge of what triggers OSHA inspections. OSHA categorizes inspections by why they happen: complaints or referrals from workers, investigations after a fatality or serious accident, and programmed inspections that OSHA schedules based on priorities. Random drug testing isn’t a trigger OSHA uses to start an inspection; it’s a workplace policy matter unrelated to the inspection types OSHA conducts. So the option that isn’t an OSHA inspection type is the random drug test.
