The State Plan also has its own General Industry Standards that are distinct from OSHA while yet incorporating OSHA Regulations:
- Smoking in the Workplace
- Firefighter Protection
- Electrical Hazards

- Maritime employment EXCEPT for marine construction, which TOSHA covers
- Railroad employment (not otherwise regulated by another federal agency)
- Employment on military bases and at Tennessee Valley Authority facilities
- Working conditions of cabin crew on board an aircraft that is in operation
- Any hazard, industry, area, operation, or facility where the State Plan is unable to exercise jurisdiction effectively
Moreover, OSHA advises entry-level workers to take OSHA 10 Hour courses and workers in supervisory roles to take OSHA 30 Hour courses to obtain their DOL cards because their specific safety standards are applied to various job operations for Tennesseans, and most employers prefer employees who have completed their Outreach training.
