Since state and government employees are not covered by federal OSHA jurisdictions, public sector workers are expected to abide by the rules and regulations of the District of Columbia Office of Risk Management (DCORM). DCROM instructs staff to receive safety training based on OSHA Standards and is in charge of performing inspections and investigations.
Additionally, workers who fall under Federal OSHA jurisdiction are required to complete job-specific safety training. DCORM also advises public sector workers to enroll in safety training programs that adhere to federal standards.
As usual, OSHA advises personnel to complete OSHA Training, also known as OSHA 10 Hours for entry-level employees and OSHA 30 Hours for those with supervisory duties.
