protects employees
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is primarily responsible for ensuring health and safety standards for private sector employees. However, for federal and state employees, the responsibility lies with agencies like the Federal Occupational Health (FOH) for federal employees and individual state agencies for state employees. These agencies work to develop and enforce health and safety regulations to protect government employees.
Employees of the federal government are exempt from OSHA coverage under the OSHAct. However, by Presidential Order they are required to have Occupational Safety and Health Programs with requirements at least as stringent as those of OSHA.
Illinois has a State OSHA program that covers state government employees (and those of county and city governments, etc.) only. Federal OSHA retains responsibility for private sector employees and for federal government employees.
