Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires employers to keep records of occupational injuries and illnesses (A and B), and to report work-related injuries and diseases (C). However, OSHA does not mandate that employers pay higher wages for working in more dangerous areas; such matters are typically subject to labor laws, union negotiations, or company policies, not OSHA regulations (D).
