Who is responsible for ensuring accessibility of the exposure control plan for employees?

1. The CDC

2. The employer

3. The employee

4. OSHA

The correct answer is: The employer

The employer is responsible for ensuring accessibility of the exposure control plan for employees. This is because the employer is responsible for maintaining a safe and healthy workplace for their employees, which includes implementing measures to prevent occupational exposure to hazardous materials. The CDC (A) is a federal agency that provides guidance and recommendations for preventing and controlling disease outbreaks, but their role does not specifically involve ensuring accessibility of exposure control plans. The employee (C) is responsible for following the exposure control plan and reporting any concerns or issues, but they are not responsible for ensuring its accessibility. OSHA (D) is also a federal agency that sets and enforces workplace safety regulations, including having an exposure control plan in place, but it is ultimately the employer's responsibility to ensure its accessibility for their employees.
