Additionally, the Construction Safety Division oversees construction operations. The fact that additional industries fall under the Industrial Compliance Division is all that is left. But concurrently, some operations, industries, and workers are still subject to the application of federal OSHA standards.
The following activities and personnel are covered under federal OSHA jurisdiction:
Those hired in accordance with federal employment policies
U.S. Postal Service personnel and private USPS operations
Private firms’ maritime personnel
specific agricultural enterprises and workers
conditions for aircraft workers participating in the operation
anything that IOSHA does not regulate, including operations, contractors, and workers.
Despite the fact that IOSHA regulates almost all employers and employees in accordance with the OSHA Standards, it also has its own set of Excavation Standards. As a result, employees who work in excavation must receive special IOSHA training on excavation job safety.
Finally, except for excavators and employers, IOSHA generally adheres to Federal OSHA Standards, so the training requirements are essentially the same. They must receive special job safety training for the excavation standard.
Although OSHA does not require employees to complete OSHA training, because OSHA Safety training covers a wide range of Site Safety topics, OSHA advises doing so to increase workers’ awareness of worksite safety in general.
