    Guide to Jurisdiction in OSHA, Region 10 Version 2018.2 General Principles - Federal civilian employers are covered by OSHA throughout the four-state region. State, county, municipal and other non-federal public employers (except tribal government employers) are covered by state programs in Washington, Oregon, and Alaska. There is no state program in Idaho, and OSHA’s coverage of public employers in Idaho is limited to the federal sector. OSHA regulates most private employers in Idaho with exceptions noted below. Industry / Location State Coverage OSHA Coverage Air Carriers1 Washington, Oregon and Alaska: Air Washington, Oregon and Alaska: carrier operations on the ground only. Aircraft cabin crewmembers’ exposures to only hazardous chemicals (HAZCOM), bloodborne pathogens, noise, recordkeeping, and access to employee exposure and medical records.

The term “aircraft cabin crew member” refers to employees working in the cabin during flight such as flight attendants or medical staff; however, the term does not include pilots. 2 In the state of Washington, for vessels afloat, such as boats, ships and barges moored at a pier or dock, DOSH’s jurisdiction ends at the edge of the dock or pier and OSHA’s jurisdiction begins at the foot of the gangway or other means of access to the vessel; this principle applies to all situations involving moored vessels, including construction, longshoring, and ship repair.

  • December 16, 2019 Secretary Michael R. Pompeo Unites States
    STATE OF MAINE OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR 1 STATE HOUSE STATION AUGUSTA, MAINE Janet T. Mills 04333-0001 GOVERNOR December 16, 2019 Secretary Michael R. Pompeo Unites States Department of State 2201 C Street NW Washington, D.C. 20520 Dear Secretary Pompeo, In response to President Trump's "Executive Order on Enhancing State and Local Involvement in Refugee Resettlement" issued on September 26, 2019, I am writing to affirm the State of Maine's support for refugee resettlement in our state. For more than forty years, and under the leadership of seven Democratic, Republican and Independent governors, Maine has participated in the federal refugee resettlement program. Over the course of those decades we have welcomed nearly 10,000 people from more than 30 countries - people who have resettled in Maine with the hope of finding peace, safety and work for themselves and their families. Maine has a workforce shortage, projected to grow worse over the next decade, creating serious challenges for businesses seeking to hire qualified workers in every industry and in every sector of our economy. Our state welcomes refugees who have skills, education and ability, a proven work ethic and tremendous drive. It is the right thing to do, and it is critical to the strength of our economy and our future success as a state. For the reasons I list above, the State of Maine fully consents to resettle refugees through the United States Refugee Admissions Program. Sincerely, Governor cc: Carol T. O'Connell, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary, Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration, U.S. Department of State Catholic Charites Maine Refugee and Immigration Services PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER PHONE: (207) 287-3531 (VOICE) TTY USE RS CA LL 7 11 FAX: (207) 287 - 1034 www.maine.gov .

  • Idaho Wyoming
    Comparing and Contrasting Idaho and Wyoming Name: _________________________ Idaho Located in the western United States, Idaho is the nation’s 14th largest state. It borders six other states: Montana, Wyoming, Nevada, Utah, Oregon, and Washington. It borders Canada to the north. Idaho became America’s 43rd state on July 3, 1890. It is nicknamed the Gem State but is sometimes called the Panhandle State. A panhandle is a narrow, rectangular strip of land that extends from the main part of a state into another. Idaho and Oklahoma are among states with panhandles. Idaho’s capital and largest city is Boise. Idaho, however, is probably best known for its potatoes. The state is responsible for about a third of all potatoes produced in America. Much of Idaho is dominated by the RocKy Mountains, although a small part of southwestern Idaho is classified as desert. Idaho is home to about 1.7 million people. The mountain bluebird is its state bird. Wyoming Wyoming, nicKnamed the Equality State is located in the western United States. Its capital and largest city is Cheyenne. It earned its nicKname from the fact that it was the first state to elect a woman as governor. Wyoming, much liKe Colorado, is rectangular in shape. It borders South DaKota, Idaho, Montana, Colorado, Utah, and NebrasKa. Eastern Wyoming is mostly prairies, whereas western and central Wyoming are covered by the RocKy Mountains. Yellowstone National ParK, located in northwestern Wyoming, is America’s oldest national park. The park sits on top of a massive caldera and is famous for its incredible beauty, wildlife, and interesting formations.
