Which term describes the safety standard ensuring accessibility in building design for people with disabilities?

• A. ADA
• B. OSHA
• C. FDA
• D. EPA

Answer: (A)

Accessibility in building design is governed by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This law sets requirements that public and commercial facilities must be accessible to people with disabilities, covering features like ramps, entrances, elevators, accessible restrooms, and clear signage to keep spaces usable and safe. In travel and tourism, hotels, theaters, airports, and attractions must meet these standards so all guests can navigate and participate. Other options relate to different safety or regulatory domains: OSHA focuses on workplace safety, FDA regulates foods and drugs, and EPA handles environmental rules.
