On January 11, 2001 New Jersey became the newest state to receive approval from OSHA to administer its own occupational safety and health program for public employees. New Jersey is one of three states, New York and Connecticut are the others, to offer this program specifically for public employees.
The New Jersey State Plan is the combined responsibility of the New Jersey Department of Labor (NJDOL) and the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services (NJDHSS). Specifically, the NJDOL is responsible for the administration of the program, inspections and investigations involving occupational safety complaints, accident and fatality investigations and discrimination complaints. The DHSS is responsible to conduct inspections and investigation of complaints regarding health hazards in the workplace. Both organizations offer consultation services and training in their area of expertise.
New Jersey has adopted standards identical to most OSHA health and safety standards and has made a commitment to bring all of its standards in line with OSHA requirements. The state plan also provides that all future OSHA standards and revisions will be adopted by the state. Additionally, New Jersey will maintain its Indoor Air Quality standard which provides protection to public employees beyond the OSHA standards.
The New Jersey Public Employee Occupational Safety and Health State Plan Mission Statement charges the PEOSH program to protect all public employees, volunteer firefighters and emergency responders from workplace hazards. This will be accomplished through a combination of occupational safety and health promotion, prevention and intervention activities conducted in accordance with the New Jersey Public Employees' Occupational Safety and Health (PEOSH) Act.
