Twenty-two states have OSHA-approved state plans that cover both private and state and local government workers. While state plans must be at least as effective as federal OSHA, some state plans have regulations unique to their state. Many state plans also have their own penalty policies and procedures that differ from OSHA’s. As such, employers with operations in state-plan states cannot assume that complying with federal OSHA regulations and following federal OSHA procedures will suffice. Keeping up with state plan states’ regulatory changes and enforcement priorities is a must, particularly those with operations throughout the country. Our team of OSHA lawyers practicing in various state-plan states will provide an overview of key differences and best practice for managing compliance across jurisdictions.
Participants in this webinar will learn:
- How state plan states differ from federal OSHA
- Examples of regulations unique to certain state plans
- How policies and procedures vary in state-plan states
- New developments and trends
- Compliance tips for employers with operations in multiple states
