The Safety and Training Division of the New Hampshire Department of Labor oversees all public sector employees working for the state, municipal government, and county. Moreover, Chapter 277 of the New Hampshire Revised Statutes (RSA) applies in some circumstances where OSHA Regulations are irrelevant, such as the private sector.

 

OSHA suggests 10 Hour courses for entry-level employees and 30 Hour courses for workers in supervisory roles since most New Hampshire employers demand that their staff members know about important topics connected to Occupational Safety and Health.

 

Construction workers engaged in public work projects with a commission over $100,000 are required by law to complete the OSHA 10 Hour Construction course, as stated in New Hampshire RSA 277:5-A.

 

Additionally, while OSHA mandates that workers in the private sector receive the proper training on chemical hazards, RSA 277-A: Toxic Substances in the Workplace applies to workers in the public sector to ensure that local government and state employees receive the crucial training on any potential chemical hazards they may encounter.
