Most Standards and Regulations from Federal OSHA Jurisdiction are often adopted by States, although IOSHA has some particular Standards in several areas:

 

• Hazardous Chemical Risks Right to Know (General Provision)
• Railroad Workers: Sanitation and Shelter Rules

 

Also, despite having a unique State Plan, the following workers are subject to OSHA Federal Jurisdiction:

 

• Employees appointed under federal Employment Policies 
• Employees of the U.S. Postal Service and private USPS operations
• Maritime employees of private companies 
• Specific agricultural employees and operations
• Military/munitions installations that are owned by the federal government and run by contractors
• Building bridges over the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers connecting Iowa with surrounding states
• Working conditions onboard aircraft employees in the operation
• Any area, operations, contractor, and employees that IOSHA does not regulate

 

Also, most of the Standards set by the Iowa State Plan are largely equivalent to the Federal OSHA Standards, making the training needs essentially the same. However, some of the standards differ. If an employee is subject to ISOHA Jurisdiction, they must complete training in Railroad Workers: Sanitation and Shelter Rules and State Specific Standards for Hazardous Chemical Risks Right to Know (General Provision) to perform pertinent operations.

 

OSHA does not require workers to complete OSHA Outreach training, but since OSHA 10 Hour and OSHA 30 Hour cover a broad range of job safety topics, OSHA advises workers to complete OSHA Outreach training, which will enable workers to complete job-specific safety topics and receive an overview of other safety issues.
