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.
Use the pull-down or the sensitive map to
find occupational safety and health information applicable to your
state.
