A.Arkansas is a federal OSHA enforcement state. That means that private businesses such as factories, mills, restaurants, service industries, etc., must follow federal OSHA regulations. These can be accessed as described in the above publications. However, Arkansas did adopt regulations that cover state, county, and municipal workers. These employees (who OSHA does not cover) are protected by AOSH (Arkansas Occupational Safety and Health) regulations. AOSH regulations can be obtained by contacting our office at (501) 682-4523. Arkansas also adopted ANSI (American National Standards Institute) standards. ANSI standards are copywrited and can be obtained from ANSI by calling (212) 642-4900.
