The Arizona Division of Occupational Safety and Health (ADOSH) covers almost all public and private-sector employees, with exceptions for federal employees, the United States Postal Service, maritime operations, and those working on Indian Lands or within mine property.

ADOSH operates under the U.S. Department of Labor and retains jurisdiction over job-related safety and health issues within the state. This jurisdiction over includes 2.1 million employees and 130,000 public and private organizations.

Included within the ADOSH Division are the following areas of responsibility:

Boilers
Elevators
Safety and Health Compliance
Consultation and Training
Policies
Voluntary Protection Program
Research & Statistics

One of the primary functions for ADOSH is running the Voluntary Protection Program (VPP). Recognizing they can't ensure worker safety and health standards all on their own, they offer various partnership opportunities for industry and labor to work together in a cooperative attempt to benefit everyone.

Arizona Top OSHA Violations

The leading cause of workplace fatalities in Arizona in recent years was related to transportation and material moving. Though there can be many causes for this type of tragedy, one of the most common and easily preventable is a backover, when a vehicle is backing up and strikes a worker behind the vehicle. Nationwide, more than 70 workers were killed in this manner in 2011.

Overall, the most cited standard, and also the one receiving the highest penalties, is for fall prevention in construction. Falls are one of the most common causes of serious work-related injuries and deaths, and OSHA has many guidelines for helping to prevent them.

OSHA Guidelines

OSHA's purpose is to provide safe conditions for workers. This includes very broad and general regulations that must be followed by nearly all businesses, as well as more detailed standards for specific industries, from construction to cosmetology and beyond.

Receiving OSHA training has benefits beyond meeting requirements and keeping employees safe. It leads to healthier employees with more ease of mind, which increases productivity. It increases morale, which reduces turnover and the need for time and resources spent on recruiting and training replacements. And it lessens time away from the job by productive workers due to injury and illness. This is all in addition to helping protect you from retribution by OSHA, who can levy heavy fines for not following the standards presented in the courses.
