The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 encourages states to develop and operate their own job safety and health programs. OSHA approves and monitors State Plans and provides up to 50 percent of an approved plan’s operating costs.

All four of the states within the OSHA Training Center at Chabot-Las Positas Community College District’s Region IX operate complete State plans (covering both the private sector and state and local government employees), including:
