OSHA covers most private sector employers and workers in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the other United States (U.S.) jurisdictions either directly through OSHA or through an OSHA-approved State Plan.
Those not covered by the OSH Act include: self-employed workers, immediate family members of farm employers, and workers whose hazards are regulated by another federal agency (for example, the Mine Safety and Health Administration, the Department of Energy, Federal Aviation Administration, or Coast Guard).
Federal OSHA has no jurisdiction over State, municipal, or volunteer fire departments.
Rhode Island has adopted the federal OSHA safety and health standards by reference for public sector employers, and has adopted public sector rules for hazard communication that are stricter than federal rules. See the state sections HAZARD COMMUNICATION STANDARD and MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET for more information.
