Essay #1

Describe State Plans and discuss what must be demonstrated by the states, including the process, to be an approved OSHA State Plan.

Essay #2

OSHA has a Strategic Management Plan for 2003-2008. Briefly summarize that plan and comment on its new goals and the criteria used for target industries. Have any of the new goals from this plan had, or will have, an effect on your workplace? Explain and give an example. (www.osha.gov)

Please note my workplace is a state agency. The State of Florida does not have a state plan.

The OSH Act excludes the employees of state governments. However by Gov. Jeb Bush’s Governor’s Executive Order, No. 2000-292, he directed all State agencies in Florida to comply with Subparts C through T and Z of the Occupational Safety and Health (OSHA) Subparts, 29 CFR Part 1910, as revised July 1, 1993. My agency also requires employees to comply with the most current OSHA standards found in 29 CFR Parts 1926, and 1928.51.
