Safety and health practices of every employer shall be monitored and regulated by which body?

• A. Bureau
• B. Regional Office
• C. Department of Labor
• D. Mine Safety Council

Answer: (A)

Safety and health practices in the workplace are governed by the government body that sets and enforces occupational safety standards. In this context, the regulator is the Bureau under the Department of Labor. The Bureau is the unit charged with monitoring compliance, issuing safety rules, conducting inspections, and enforcing penalties for violations. A Regional Office is part of the enforcement network and handles on-site activities within its area, but it isn’t the primary regulator itself. The Department of Labor is the parent agency, overseeing the broader framework, while the Mine Safety Council is typically an advisory or industry group without regulatory authority. So the Bureau is the correct regulator responsible for these safety and health practices.
