Which Rules Apply in Richmond
Richmond employers answer to VOSH, not federal OSHA
Virginia 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 Richmond can owe requirements that a business one state over does not.
Requirements beyond the federal standards
- Infectious Disease Standard — 16VAC25-220
- Tree Trimming — 16VAC25-73
- Reverse Signal — 16VAC25-97
Local enforcement
