Which Rules Apply in Tacoma
Tacoma employers answer to WISHA, not federal OSHA
Washington 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 Tacoma can owe requirements that a business one state over does not.
Requirements beyond the federal standards
- Heat Exposure Rule — WAC 296-307-097
- Ergonomics Rule — WAC 296-62-051
- Wildfire Smoke — WAC 296-62-085
Local enforcement
Tacoma sits in Pierce County.
Inspections in Tacoma are run by WISHA rather than by a federal OSHA area office.
