What It Means for You
- State Plans must be at least as effective as federal OSHA and can go further. California, for instance, has its own standards.
- Report severe injuries according to your plan’s process.
- Some federal workplaces and certain industries stay under federal OSHA even in plan states.
Every state page here says which applies and lists local providers.
General information, not legal advice. Rules change and State Plan states may differ, so confirm with the current standard or your state agency.
