OSHA TRAINING IN IDAHO
OSHA Jurisdiction in Idaho
While OSHA allows states to establish their own State Plans if they meet or exceed federal Occupational Health and Safety Standards, Idaho does not have an approved State Plan. As a result, workplace safety and health in Idaho fall under the direct jurisdiction of Federal OSHA.
OSHA Training Obligations You Need To Know For Idaho
While OSHA does not mandate training, it strongly recommends that employees in Idaho complete either the OSHA 10-Hour or OSHA 30-Hour training courses. Despite the lack of a legal requirement, many Idaho employers choose to go beyond these guidelines by requiring all their employees to complete OSHA training programs.
Specifically, the OSHA 10-Hour course is designed for entry-level workers to introduce them to workplace safety fundamentals, whereas the OSHA 30-Hour course is tailored for employees in supervisory roles who need more comprehensive safety knowledge.
