Georgia does not have a federally approved occupational safety and health regulatory program. Consequently, federal occupational safety and health standards govern private sector workplaces in the state. Except for a worker right-to-know law for chemicals, there are no state or federal laws that govern workplace safety and health in public sector (state and local government agencies and school systems) workplaces in the state.
The U.S. Department of Labor/Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) administers and enforces federal workplace safety and health requirements in private sector workplaces in the state.
