Oregon Construction Contractors (CCB) Practice Test

Mandating building codes is not a service provided by OR-OSHA. OR-OSHA, which stands for the Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Administration, primarily focuses on the enforcement of workplace safety and health laws. Its responsibilities include the inspection of work sites to ensure compliance with safety regulations, investigating workplace accidents to determine causes and preventative measures, and issuing citations for violations of health and safety standards.

In contrast, the establishment and mandate of building codes typically fall under the jurisdiction of local and state building authorities or engineering departments, rather than OR-OSHA. Building codes are designed to govern construction practices, materials used, and various safety measures within the building process, ensuring overall safety and structural integrity, but they are not within OR-OSHA's purview. Therefore, identifying that mandating building codes is not among OR-OSHA’s services is crucial for understanding the specific role that this organization plays in workplace safety regulations.
