The US Occupational Safety and Health Administration is responsible for providing basic safety standards for employers in the private sector. Their standards apply to most- but not all workers in the US. It does not cover workers regulated by other agencies- such as transportation, mining, etc. It does not apply to a family farm, a one man business, or workers outside the US. Certain government employees are also not covered.

Whether Rob Jones is covered by OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) regulations depends on his specific employment situation. OSHA typically covers most private sector employers and their employees, but there are exceptions, such as certain government workers and self-employed individuals. If Rob is employed by a private business and engaged in activities that fall under OSHA's jurisdiction, then he would be covered. For precise determination, it would be necessary to consider the nature of his work and his employer's classification.
No, if you have completed OSHA 30 training, you do not need to complete OSHA 10, as OSHA 30 includes all the content covered in OSHA 10 and is more comprehensive. OSHA 30 is often required for supervisors and workers in more complex roles, while OSHA 10 is aimed at entry-level workers. However, be sure to check specific job or employer requirements, as some may have their own policies.
