OSHA TRAINING IN MISSOURI

Missouri does not have an OSHA-approved State Plan. Consequently, Federal OSHA regulations apply and are enforced throughout the state.

Scope of Federal OSHA in Missouri

Federal OSHA has jurisdiction over:

• Most private sector employers and employees

• Federal government workers and workplaces

Public Sector Coverage

Employees working for state and local governments in Missouri are not covered by Federal OSHA, as public sector coverage is only available through a state-run OSHA program — which Missouri does not have.

Training Recommendations

Although OSHA training is not legally required, it is highly recommended to help workers understand job-specific and general safety practices:

• OSHA 10-Hour Training – recommended for entry-level workers

• OSHA 30-Hour Training – recommended for supervisors or workers with safety responsibilities

These voluntary programs help prevent workplace injuries and illnesses while promoting compliance with OSHA safety standards.
