The recordkeeping and reporting Standard 12 NYCRR Part 801 differs from OSHA, although the PESH Standards and Regulations are essentially identical to OSHA Standards. Additionally, PESH has a few State Oriented Standards that are distinct from the typical OSHA Standards.
The following are some PESH Standards that all workers in the public sector must adhere to:
Permissible Exposure Limits 12 NYCRR Part 800.5
Toxic Substance training, education and information 12 NYCRR Part 820
If the cities have less than 1 million residents, then Emergency Escape and Self-Rescue Ropes and System Components for Firefighters 12 NYCRR Part 800.7 is applicable.
Workplace Violence Prevention 12 NYCRR Part 800.6
There are no precise Standards or Regulations for private sector businesses in the New York State Plan. As a result, all private sector workers and employers are required to adhere to Federal OSHA Standards and Regulations.
Local Law 196 applies to both employers and employees in the New York construction sector. All construction industry employees who are not in supervisory roles must receive a Site Safety Training Card (SST Card) or an OSHA 30 Card, in accordance with Local Law 196, while employees in supervisory positions must complete 62 hours of site safety training.
Additionally, according to New York Labor Law 220-H, every Construction Worker who is involved in a contract worth more than $250,000 must possess an OSHA 10 Card. Only those who engage on small-scale renovation and repair projects within the town or outside of the city are covered by this rule.
