Massachusetts OSHA Safety Training - State Requirements

Massachusetts is not a “state-plan” state; that is, it does not have a federally approved occupational safety and health program. Consequently, occupational safety and health in the private sector workplace is governed by the federal Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Act. There is no state law that governs workplace safety in the public sector (state and local agencies, school systems). Source: OSHA Directorate of State Plans

Massachusetts Requires OSHA Construction Training
According to Massachusetts State law, at least an OSHA 10 hour Construction Course is required for all public sector projects and construction sites state wide:

  • All employees to be employed at a worksite needs to complete the OSHA 10 hour construction course before beginning work on the worksite. The law went into effect in 2004.
  • Any employee found on a worksite subject to this section without documentation of successful completion of the OSHA 10 hour course shall be subject to immediate removal.
  • The Massachusetts law specifically says "at least 10 hours" - so an OSHA 30 hour construction course would also enable the worker to meet these requirements.
  • It is also the employer’s responsibility to make sure all their employees have their certification card and turn in proof to the contracting agency before the job starts. The employer can be fined for allowing an employee onsite who does not have a valid OSHA 10 hour certification card.
  • The OSHA 10 hour Construction Course must also be retaken every 5 years.

Reference: Massachusetts General Laws - Chapter 30: Section 39S

For other jobs in Massachusetts, some companies require their employees to take OSHA training in order to be qualified to perform certain duties. However, whatever industry you work for in Massachusetts - taking an OSHA Training Course is a low cost investment that rewards you with essential job safety practices that could one day possibly save your life. Most workplace accidents and injuries are preventable, so take a proactive step towards your workplace safety.

Massachusetts Occupational & Labor Safety State Agency

The Massachusett Office of Labor and Workforce Development aims to protect workers through education and training, workplace safety and health consultation, and occupational injury and illness data collection and analysis.

The Massachusetts Office of Labor and Workforce Development - Massachusetts Department of Labor Standards mission is to promote and protect workers' safety and health, wages and working conditions, and to support employers and workers in the utilization of apprenticeship as a workforce development tool.

The Massachustetts Department of Labor Standards - Massachusetts Workplace Safety and Health Program is responsible for conducting free investigations of workplace health hazards upon request of a public sector employer, employee, union, Board of Health or upon referral by another agency or health professional.

The Massachustetts Department of Labor Standards - Occupational Safety and Health Statistics Program is to support continued improvement of workplace environments by compiling and presenting data to employers, employees, researchers, industry professionals, and policy-makers, so that these data can be used to devise strategies to reduce occupational injuries and illnesses.

State Reporting:

OSHA Federal Labor Data

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) - State Occupational Injuries, Illnesses, and Fatalities (IIF) Program - provides annual information on the rate and number of work-related injuries, illnesses, and fatal injuries, and how these statistics vary by incident, industry, geography, occupation, and other characteristics. This data is collected through two BLS programs:

  • SOII - BLS Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses
    The SOII provides estimates for nonfatal cases of work-related injuries and illnesses from 46 States and Territories that are recorded by employers under the Occupational safety and Health Administration's (OSHA's) recordkeeping guidelines.
  • CFOI - BLS Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries
    The CFOI publishes data on fatal cases of work-related injuries for all States, Territories, and New York City.

For more information, check out the BLS State Occupational Injuries, Illnesses, and Fatalities - Labor Programs and State data.

Massachusetts OSHA Top Fatal and Nonfatal Injuries and Illnesses

According to latest data, the leading cause of workplace fatalities in Massachusetts was in the construction and extraction occupations (Source).

As with most states, the leading causes of private sector worker deaths (excluding highway collisions) in the construction industry were falls, followed by electrocution, struck by object, and caught-in/between.
Source: OSHA Common Statistics Summaries

Falls deaths are preventable by a safety training class that covers 29 CFR 1926.500 - Subpart M – Fall Protection and deals with both the human and equipment-related issues in protecting workers from fall hazards.
