The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) typically does not apply to the military, as the Department of Defense (DoD) has its own safety and health regulations that govern military operations. However, certain OSHA standards may be adopted or referenced within military guidelines to promote workplace safety. The military prioritizes safety through its own programs, which can sometimes align with OSHA's goals to ensure a safe working environment for service members. Ultimately, the military's approach to occupational safety is tailored to its unique operational needs and environments.

About half the states have such programs.

By Executive Order the Army, and the other branches of the US armed forces, are directed to provide occupational safety and health at least as stringent as that of OSHA.

Typically there will be a military manual that essentually restates the civilian requirements, but is enforced by inspectors in the military. Of course, if the General has an issue and calls the local OSHA office an inspector would be willing do an inspection.

OSHA regulations generally apply to military operations and workplaces; however, certain military-unique operations, such as combat and training activities, may be excluded from these regulations. This exclusion acknowledges the unique nature of military operations where traditional safety measures may not be feasible. The focus is primarily on maintaining readiness and operational effectiveness in dynamic and unpredictable environments. Nonetheless, the military is still expected to implement safety practices to protect personnel as much as possible.
