OSH ACT AND OSHA STANDARDS

OSH Act Coverage - Employer Provisions

When another federal agency is authorized to regulate safety and health working conditions in a particular industry, but does not do so in specific areas; then OSHA standards apply to those areas.

As OSHA develops effective safety and health standards of its own, standards issued under the following laws administered by the Department of Labor are superseded:

Walsh-Healey Act
Service Contract Act
Construction Safety Act
Arts and Humanities Act
Longshoremen's and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act.
