Which Rules Apply in Chicago
Illinois is enforced directly by federal OSHA
Illinois runs an OSHA-approved state plan covering public sector only (state plan). A state plan must be at least as effective as the federal programme, and may go further — which is why a business in Chicago can owe requirements that a business one state over does not.
Local enforcement
Chicago sits in Cook County.
Inspections here are run out of the Chicago South Area Office, 8505 W. 183rd Street, Suite C Tinley Park, IL 60487. (708) 342-2840
