Who Enforces the OSHA Regulations in Delaware?
Worker safety and training for private companies in the state of Delaware is regulated by the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). The state of Delaware does not operate an approved state OSHA program for public employees at the state or local government level.
OSHA Regulations and Standards in Delaware:
Regulated employers located in Delaware are governed by the federal OSHA health and safety standards and training requirements found in the 29 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). These include, but are not limited to, the OSHA general industry standards in 29CFR1910, maritime standards in 29CFR Parts 1915, 1917 and 1918, construction standards in Part 1926, and agricultural standards in 29CFR1928.
Delaware OSHA State Laws for the Construction Industry:
An OSHA 10 hour Outreach Training course is not required by law in Delaware, however; the training is already a common requirement on large commercial projects (public and private). Due to the prevalence of union construction setting a “baseline” and imposing a minimum standard to which smaller, non-union contractors who wish to undertake public work must now adhere, the OSHA 10 has become an industry mandate without a law behind it.
Already required by five states in the Northeast the OSHA 10 Hour Course has become an “industry standard” for both the public and private sector projects. Many contractors in Delaware also encourage supervisors to take the OSHA 30-hour course in order to better manage their 10-hour-trained workforces.
