Which Rules Apply in Rochester
Rochester employers answer to MNOSHA, not federal OSHA
Minnesota runs an OSHA-approved state plan covering private and public sector. A state plan must be at least as effective as the federal programme, and may go further — which is why a business in Rochester can owe requirements that a business one state over does not.
Requirements beyond the federal standards
- AWAIR Program — Minnesota Rules 5208
- Employee Right-to-Know — Minnesota Statutes 182.653
- Ergonomics — Minnesota Rules 5205
Local enforcement
