OSH Act Coverage - State and Local Government Provisions

OSHA provisions do not apply to state and local governments in their role as employers. The OSH Act does provide that any state desiring to gain OSHA approval for its private sector occupational safety and health program must provide a program that covers its state and local government workers. This program must be at least as effective as its program for private employees. State plans may also cover only public sector employees.
