Except for the following OSHA regulations and standards are given below, PEOSH has adopted and implemented most of them:

 

• PEOSH Standards for Firefighters (NJAC 12:100-8) substitutes 29 CFR 1910 Subpart L.
• OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200/NJAC 12:100-7) is centered on the Federal Standards

 

The State Plan of New Jersey comprises four agencies and two different standards, which have to be followed and incorporated by the workers living in New Jersey. However, most of the Safety Training Standards possess a similarity.

 

Concerning the companies under the public sector, given below are the enforcements that are required to be followed:

 

• The New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development (NJDLWD) is the regulatory body that authorizes Standards and attends to safety complaints.
• The New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH) is the division in charge of health hazard complaints and enforcing Indoor Air Quality Standards.

 

Under the regulatory body of NJDLWD, complaint-specific and regular observations are conducted by The Office of Public Workers’ Occupational Safety and Health (PEOSH)

 

As far as private companies are concerned, they are directed to act per Federal OSHA Training Standards. Still, public companies strictly need to follow PEOSH Training Standards and meet the requirements of Federal OSHA training.

 

However, some of the latest PEOSH Standards do not have any resemblance with Federal Standards, such as:

• Indoor Air Quality Standard (NJAC 12:100-13)
• Indoor Firing Ranges Standard (NJAC 12:100-8)
