What you need to know

Maine does not have a federally approved occupational safety and health regulatory program for the state; therefore, private sector workplaces must comply with federal occupational safety and health standards.

The state has adopted the hazardous waste operations and emergency response (HAZWOPER) rules by reference (Code of ME Rules (CMR) 12-179-002 for general industry and CMR 12-179-003 for the construction industry) for public sector employers (state, county, and local government agencies, commissions, and school systems).

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. The Maine Department of Labor/Workplace Safety Division administers safety and health rules for public sector workplaces.
