OSHA TRAINING IN NEW MEXICO

States are required to uphold workplace safety and health standards that are “at least as effective” as corresponding federal requirements. States have the authority to enact regulations that are stricter than federal regulations of a similar nature or that include risks that are not covered by federal regulations. By way of reference, New Mexico accepts modifications to incorporated federal requirements. When they are posted on the Get OSHA Courses.com, they become legally binding. The Environmental Improvement Board, a seven-member body chosen by the Governor and with the authority to adopt, alter, or repeal OHS rules and regulations, must hold a public hearing before adopting new standards.
