OSHA State Differences Summaries and Checklists

Specialty Technical Consultants, Inc. (STC)

This unique Guide is presented in two parts.

The OSHA State Differences Summaries identify the important, and often complex, regulatory differences from similar federal rules with which facilities in a particular state must comply. Used in conjunction with either STP's OSHA Auditing: Federal Compliance Guide, or OSHA Compliance: Simplified National Guide, these detailed guides make it feasible to identify the full range of health and safety regulatory compliance challenges facing a facility.

The corresponding OSHA State Differences Checklists are written to relate directly to their federal counterparts. This ensures minimum misinterpretation across Federal and State issues. State differences that have no similar federal requirements are also included. Each state difference is classified in terms of how it can best be used for ongoing compliance management and support of an auditing, checking, and corrective action effort.

These programs are used by attorneys, senior EHS management, corporate EHS auditors, consultants, facility compliance personnel, government agencies and cities.
