There are no laws that govern workplace safety and health in public sector (state and local government operations) workplaces in the state. There is a general requirement for the South Dakota Bureau of Personnel to develop programs for the improvement of state employee effectiveness, including training, safety, health, counseling, and welfare.
Free on-site consultation and assistance is available to South Dakota employers through the South Dakota State University Engineering Extension in identifying and correcting specific hazards, as well as developing and implementing injury and illness prevention programs and training and education services. These services are completely separate from federal OSHA's enforcement arm, and OSHA ensures employers that their name, firm name, and any other information about their workplace will not be routinely addressed to the OSHA inspection staff.
