Moreover, the Construction Safety Division oversees construction operations. Therefore, the fact that additional industries fall under the Industrial Compliance Division is all left. However, concurrently, some businesses, industries, and workers are nonetheless subject to the application of federal OSHA standards.

 

The following activities and personnel are covered under federal OSHA jurisdiction:

 

• Employees appointed under federal Employment Policies 
• Employees of the U.S. Postal Service and private USPS operations
• Maritime employees of private companies 
• Specific agricultural employees and operations
• Working conditions onboard aircraft employees in the operation
• Any area, operations, contractor, and employees that IOSHA does not regulate. 

 

Although IOSHA supervises practically all employers and employees per the OSHA Rules, it also has its own set of Excavation Standards. As a result, employees who work in excavation must receive special IOSHA training on excavation job safety.

 

Finally, except for excavators and employers, IOSHA generally adheres to Federal OSHA Regulations. Therefore the training requirements are essentially the same. In addition, they must receive special job safety training for the excavation standard.

 

Although OSHA does not require employees to do OSHA Outreach training because OSHA Safety training covers a wide range of Site Safety issues, OSHA advises doing so to increase workers' understanding of workplace safety in general.
