Who is covered by the MOSH Act?
The MOSH Act covers every Maryland employer in a business, trade, commercial or industrial activity, who has one or more employees, including State and local governments. The Act does not affect workplaces covered under certain other laws such as the Atomic Energy Act, the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act, and the Longshoremen’s and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act. The MOSH Act does not apply to working conditions of employees of the federal government or any agency or instrumentality of a federal government agency. Those workers are covered under the Federal OSHA program.
