Vermont is a “state plan” state, which means it has its own federally approved occupational safety and health regulatory program. State law governs occupational safety and health in public and private sector workplaces, except for domestic employment and mines. The state has adopted the federal fall protection standard by reference.
The Vermont Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (VOSHA) administers and enforces fall protection requirements in private and public sector workplaces.
