Utah Occupational Safety and Health (UOSH)
Mission
Achieving compliance and providing assistance with safety and health in the workplace.
State Plan
The federal Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 includes a provision that states can apply for approval to operate their own occupational safety and health programs. Currently there are 26 states and territories that are classified as state plan states. www.osha.gov Utah started the application and approval process in 1973 and was granted approval on July 16, 1985. A state plan state's occupational safety and health program must be assessed to be "at least as effective as" a federal enforcement program.
Vision Statement
Working together we can make the beautiful State of Utah a safer place to work, elevating our workplace safety and health culture to a higher level of excellence.
What We Do

We approach this goal by providing consultation services to private and public sector employer, by providing outreach to employers through our compliance assistance, Voluntary Protection Programs and Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Programs, and by enforcement of occupational safety and health standards through our compliance program activities. UOSH also collects work-related statistics on injuries and illnesses and fatalities in conjunction with the National Bureau of Labor Statistics.
