Occupational Safety
and Health Resource Locator
Use the Occupational
Safety and Health Tool to locate regulations, points of contact or learn
about on-site consultation services in your
state.
Occupational
safety and health rules in the US are mostly standardized, because:
- The federal
Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) operate the
primary job safety and health program in twenty-nine (29) of the
fifty states. This includes conducting inspections and enforcing
its standards.
- Twenty-one
states (21) operate their own job safety and health programs (three
additional states cover only state and local government employees).
States with approved programs must set job safety and health standards
that are "at least as effective as" comparable federal standards.
In most cases, states adopt standards identical to federal ones.
Consultation services are available in every state. In most cases, these
are free and are conducted at your work place or building site. These services
help employers identify and correct workplace hazards and can help you
avoid violations and penalties.
