Frequently Asked Questions

Question: Do State Plans operate Alliance Programs?

Answer:

State plans, or OSHA-approved workplace safety and health programs operated by individual states or U.S. territories, are not required to operate Alliance programs. However, OSHA encourages states to participate in the implementation of OSHA’s Alliances and to develop their own state programs, patterned after the federal program. Federal OSHA’s Directorate of Cooperative and State Programs maintains a list of State Plan-operated Alliance programs here; you may also contact the state plan directly for details.
