Though the Jurisdiction of Federal OSHA requires workers to get adequate training according to particular safety standards relevant to job operations, workers who fall under VOSHA jurisdiction must also acknowledge obligations by the state on PELs and Lineman safety.

 

Since most employers prefer workers who have taken Outreach training and OSHA’s courses cover topics related to requirements for industrial facilities, OSHA recommends entry-level workers to enroll in OSHA 10 Hour courses and workers with supervisory roles to enroll in OSHA 30 Hour courses.

 

In addition, under the Vermont Department of Labor, the enforcement such as investigations, citations, penalties, fines, and requests are implemented by the Vermont Occupational Safety and Health Administration (VOSHA).

 

Though VOSHA has incorporated most Federal OSHA Standards by reference, it also has its distinct Standards separate from OSHA:

 

• Permissible Exposure Limits (PELs)
• Lineworker Safety

 

Moreover, the number of workers who fall under Federal OSHA Jurisdiction is specified below:

 

• Federal employment
• The U.S. Postal Service plus private contractor-operated facilities engaged by USPS
• Offshore maritime employment, including offshore shipyard employment and longshoring
• Working conditions of aircraft cabin crew members onboard aircraft in operation
