Regulation of OSHA Training – Brooklyn

Brooklyn NY OSHA Training

Who regulates worker safety in Brooklyn and the rest of New York City? Worker safety for private companies in the state of New York is regulated by the Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). The State of New York operates a state OSHA program (PESH) exclusively for State and local (e.g.: municipal, county, state . . .) employers. In addition, the State of NY and New York City both require all workers on many publicly funded construction sites to complete the OSHA 10 hour construction course.

OSHA Training Regulations and Standards

Federally regulated employers located in New York are governed by the Federal OSHA health and safety standards found in the 29 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). These include, but are not limited to, the OSHA workplace poster requirements in Part 1903, OSHA injury and illness recordkeeping requirements in Part 1904, general industry standards in Part 1910, maritime standards in Parts 1915, 1917 and 1918, construction standards in Part 1926, and agricultural standards in Part 1928.

Special Safety Training Considerations for Brooklyn NY

 

Workers in Brooklyn face unique environmental and occupational hazards that require specialized safety training to prevent serious injuries and illnesses. Heat Illness Prevention Training is essential for anyone working in high temperatures or humid conditions, where prolonged exposure can lead to heat stress and even life-threatening heat stroke. Whether on construction sites, roadwork or landscaping crews, in commercial kitchens, or buildings without adequate ventilation, workers must recognize the early signs of heat-related illness and know how to stay hydrated, take proper rest breaks, and respond to emergencies. This training equips them with the knowledge needed to help them work safely in extreme heat.

 

At the other end of the spectrum, Cold Stress Prevention Training is critical for workers who are exposed to freezing temperatures or even cool and damp conditions, whether outdoors or in refrigerated warehouses, food processing plants, or unheated job sites. Cold stress can lead to frostbite, hypothermia, and reduced dexterity, increasing the risk of accidents. Workers will learn to recognize early symptoms of cold-related illnesses and implement safe work practices to minimize risk in frigid environments.

 

Additionally, workers in industries such as oil and gas, wastewater management, and agriculture must be aware of the dangers of Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S), a highly toxic gas commonly found in drilling sites, refineries, chemical plants, manure pits, grain elevators, sewers, and underground utility spaces. Without proper precautions, exposure can quickly become fatal. H2S Awareness Training helps ensure workers can identify H2S hazards, understand the importance of gas detection equipment, and follow emergency procedures to stay safe in high-risk environments.
