Program: Utah Occupational Safety and Health

Function

The Utah Occupational Safety and Health (UOSH) Division ensures employee safety and health in Utah by working with employers and employees to create better working environments. UOSH is focusing on three strategies: 1) strong, fair and effective enforcement; 2) outreach, education and compliance assistance; and 3) partnerships and cooperative programs. Because Utah's Occupational Safety and Health Act is 'as effective as' federal OSHA standards, the federal government defers to UOSH for enforcement of occupational safety and health requirements. Federal funds pay a substantial part of UOSH's operating expenses.

UOSH provides free consultation to assist employers in making their operations safe and healthy, and also trains workers and employers to understand safety standards. UOSH also inspects places of employment and, where necessary, requires employers to comply with workplace safety and health standards. Inspectors also check to assure that businesses carry workers' compensation insurance. Additionally, UOSH compiles workplace accident statistics.
