The following New Mexicans fall under federal OSHA jurisdiction:

 

• Federal employment
• The U.S. Postal Service plus private contractor-operated facilities engaged by USPS
• Maritime operations (i.e., shipyards, marine terminals, long shoring, shipbuilding, or shipbreaking)
• Contractors and subcontractors working on land under exclusive federal jurisdiction
• Private-sector employment on military bases and facilities
• Tribal or private-sector employment on any Indian reservation or lands under the control of a tribal government
• Private-sector employment at the US Department of Energy's Western Area Power Administration site at Elephant Butte
• Working conditions aboard aircraft in operation

 

Because New Mexico adopted numerous Federal OSHA Rules identically, its employees are also subject to the same requirements for training. Federal OSHA Jurisdiction may have an impact on training in the instance of those Standards that contained New Mexico's unique variation, such as:

 

General Industry:

 

• State and Local Government Firefighting
• Workplace Violence in Convenience Stores
• Hazard Communication

 

Construction

• Hazard Communication

 

Agriculture

 

• Field Sanitation
• Short-Handled Hoes
• First Aid
• Hazard Communication

 

Additionally, OSHA recommends 10-hour courses for novice workers and 30-hour courses for supervisors or managers because most businesses want specific training for employees in the construction and general sectors relevant to job functions.
