OSHA TRAINING IN NEW MEXICO

States are required to maintain workplace safety and health standards that are at least as effective as the corresponding federal OSHA requirements. Additionally, states have the authority to enact regulations that are more stringent than federal standards or that address hazards not covered under federal regulations.

Specifically, New Mexico adopts modifications to incorporated federal requirements, which become legally binding once published on Get OSHA Courses.com. The Environmental Improvement Board, a seven-member panel appointed by the Governor, has the authority to adopt, amend, or repeal Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) rules and regulations. Before enacting new standards, the Board must hold a public hearing to allow for public input.
