What is the differecne between between states covered under state plans and states covered under federal OSHA jurisdiction.?
States covered under state plans operate under their own occupational safety and health regulations, which must be at least as effective as federal OSHA standards, but can be more stringent. These state plans are developed and administered by individual states that have received approval from federal OSHA. In contrast, states under federal OSHA jurisdiction follow the federal standards directly without any state-specific modifications. This means federal OSHA enforces regulations in those states, while state plan states can tailor their regulations to better fit local industries and conditions.
Who in part covers the health and safety of federal and state employees?

The Postal Service is now covered by OSHA under a separate Act of Congress. State government employees in states that have Health and Safety programs approved by Federal OSHA are covered by their State OSHA program. There are about 23 such states. State government employees in the remaining states are not covered by Federal or State OSHA programs.
