Being accommodated under the Maryland Department of Labor, the Maryland Occupational Safety and Health (MOSH) compliance unit regulates the Standards with investigations, issuing citations, and inspecting complaints.

 

Irrespective of the Jurisdiction, the employees in Maryland comply with the same training obligations since Maryland incorporated most Federal OSHA Standards.

 

Moreover, Maryland endorsed Distinct Standards, respectively into three categories: 

 

Construction

 

• Fall Protection in Steel Erection
• Crane Safety
• Lead in Construction
• Excavations, Requirement for Protective Systems

 

General Industry

 

• Forbidding Smoking in an Indoor Place of Employment
• The standard for Confined Spaces
• Standard for Personnel Platforms Suspended from Cranes, Derricks, and Hoists
• Tree Care and Removal
• Occupational Exposure to Formaldehyde

 

Agriculture

 

• Standard for Field Sanitation

 

Though OSHA doesn’t mandate OSHA Outreach Training for everyone, since most Outreach courses teach typical obligations for Construction and General Industry that apply to your jobs, in that case, OSHA advises entry-level workers to take OSHA 10-Hour courses and OSHA 30-Hour courses for Managers and Supervisors.

 

The category of Marylanders who remain under the Federal OSHA Jurisdiction are as follows:

 

• Federal employment
• The U.S. Postal Service plus private contractor-operated facilities engaged by USPS
• Maritime operations (i.e., shipyards, marine terminals, long shoring)
• Private-sector employment on military bases
• Working conditions of aircraft cabin crew members onboard aircraft in operation
• Any hazard, industry, area, operation, or facility where the State Plan cannot effectively practice jurisdiction.
