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.
