Mississippi does not operate its own OSHA-approved State Plan. As a result, it falls entirely under the jurisdiction of Federal OSHA. This means that all occupational safety and health regulations, enforcement, and oversight in the state are managed by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
Federal OSHA directly regulates:
Private sector employers and employees
Federal government workers
Employees of state and local governments in Mississippi are not covered by Federal OSHA, as this coverage is typically provided only through a State Plan, which Mississippi does not have. However, some public sector workers may receive limited protection through other state-specific programs or initiatives.
Although OSHA does not mandate workers to complete OSHA training, it strongly recommends the following for enhancing workplace safety awareness:
OSHA 10-Hour Training for entry-level workers
OSHA 30-Hour Training for supervisors and workers with safety responsibilities
These programs help workers understand key occupational hazards, safety protocols, and their rights under OSHA regulations.
