OSHA Federal Government Workers
Section 19 of the OSH Act states that OSHA protection extends to all federal agencies. According to OSHA, federal agencies "must have a safety and health program that meets the same standards as private employers.
However, OSHA does not fine federal agencies that do not comply with or have a safety and health program. Instead, OSHA has the following responsibilities:
- Monitoring these agencies
- Conducting federal workplace inspections in response to workers' complaints
Therefore, federal workers have the same rights as private sector workers when it comes to workplace safety.
