The North Carolina Occupational Safety and Health (NC OSH) is the administrative body established in North Carolina to carry out Standards, investigations, record-keeping, attend to complaints, report checks, and control the Site Safety and Health implementation of the Standards and Regulations.

 

Even though North Carolina and OSHA have many identical standards and regulations, there is a handful that is not covered in the North Carolina State Plan and is listed below:

 

Construction Industry Standards: 

 

• Communication Towers
• Steel Erection
• Blasting and Use of Explosives
• Non-Ionizing Radiation
• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and Life-Saving Equipment
• Bloodborne Pathogens

 

Agriculture Industry Standards: 

 

• Field Sanitation 

 

Construction Industry Standards: 

 

• Electric Power Generation, Transmission, and Distribution
• Communication Towers
• Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response

 

Federal OSHA Standards govern the following sectors and activities:

 

• Employment under Federal Regulations 
• US Postal Services 
• Maritime Industry Operations 
• Railroad Employment under Federal 
• Indian reservations Employment 
• The American National Red Cross
• Military bases enforcements 
• Contractors and workers employed for Federal Government contracts and operations
• Adequate working conditions for aircraft cabin staff while they are operating or on-duty 
• Any industries, hazards, operations, and areas of operations that come under Federal Jurisdiction 

 

OSHA requires employees to obtain training on specific subjects since OSHA Outreach Training covers nearly all of the fundamental Rules, and the North Carolina OSHA Act complies with most of the Standards of Federal Jurisdiction.

 

As a result, OSHA advises employees to sign up for OSHA Outreach Training programs like 10 Hour Construction Training and 30 Hour Construction Training, which primarily cover North Carolina OSHA-related topics.
