All workers in the public sector employed by the state, local governments, and counties are under the control of the Safety and Training Division of the New Hampshire Department of Labor. Additionally, in some situations where OSHA Regulations are irrelevant, such as the private sector, Chapter 277 of the New Hampshire Revised Statutes (RSA) is applicable.

Additionally, in some situations where OSHA Regulations are irrelevant, such as the private sector, Chapter 277 of the New Hampshire Revised Statutes (RSA) is applicable.
Since the majority of New Hampshire employers demand that their staff members are knowledgeable about significant topics related to Occupational Safety and Health, OSHA suggests 10 Hour courses for entry-level employees and 30 Hour courses for workers in supervisory roles. According to New Hampshire RSA 277:5-A, contractors engaging in public works projects with a commission of more than $100,000 are required by law to complete the OSHA 10 Hour Construction course.
Additionally, RSA 277-A: Toxic Substances in the Workplace is applicable to workers in the public sector to ensure that local government and state employees receive the crucial training on any potential chemical hazards they may encounter. While OSHA mandates that workers in the private sector receive the appropriate training on chemical hazards, this law also applies to workers in the public sector.
