Additional Safety Training Considerations for Workers in Indiana

While our onsite and online OSHA 10 and 30-hour training courses for construction and general industry are the gold standard for training about general hazard recognition and avoidance for workers and supervisors, there are many workers throughout the State of Indiana who face unique environmental and occupational hazards that require other specialized safety training to prevent serious injuries and illnesses.

Cold Stress Prevention Training is essential for those working in freezing temperatures or even cool, damp conditions—whether outdoors or in workplaces such as refrigerated warehouses, food processing plants, or unheated job sites. Cold stress can lead to frostbite, hypothermia, and reduced dexterity, increasing the risk of accidents. This training helps workers recognize the early symptoms of cold-related illnesses and implement safe work practices to minimize risks in frigid environments.

Conversely, Heat Illness Prevention Training is critical for anyone exposed to high temperatures or humid conditions, where prolonged exposure can result in heat stress or even life-threatening heat stroke. Workers in construction, roadwork, landscaping or lawn-care, steel mills, commercial kitchens, attic work, or buildings without adequate ventilation must know how to recognize the early signs of heat-related illness and know how why they need to stay hydrated, take proper rest breaks, and respond to emergencies. This training provides essential knowledge to help them work safely in extreme heat.

And workers in industries such as oil and gas, storm or 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 Hazard Awareness Training ensures workers can identify H2S hazards, understand the importance of gas detection equipment, and follow emergency procedures to stay safe in high-risk environments.

Also, workers involved in any aspect of confined space entry operations must complete Confined Space Entry Training for General Industry before entering hazardous areas such as tanks, vats, silos, sewer and storm drain systems, underground utilities, and many crawl spaces. Supervisors overseeing confined space entry and attendants monitoring entrant safety must also be trained. These environments pose serious risks, including toxic gases, oxygen deficiency, and engulfment. And those construction workers and supervisors involved in confined space entry operations must complete specialized Confined Space Training for Construction.

Regulation of OSHA Workplace Safety & Health in Indiana

The State of Indiana operates a State OSHA program (IOSHA) that specifies mandatory OSHA training in IN. The Indiana Occupational Safety and Health program is administered by the Indiana Department of Labor. The Indiana Plan was granted final state plan approval on September 26, 1986. Indiana OSHA adopts Federal OSHA training regulations and standards identically. Links to federal OSHA training requirements for construction and general industry are available below on this page.

Jurisdiction

IOSHA applies to all places of employment in the State (public and private), with the exception of Federal Government employees, the United States Postal Service (USPS), private sector maritime, and certain agricultural related operations (the field sanitation standard and temporary labor camps), which are subject to Federal OSHA jurisdiction.

Indiana OSHA Information

Management of the IOSHA program is the responsibility of the Deputy Commissioner for IOSHA. The Deputy Commissioner of IOSHA is assisted by two Directors (Industry and Construction) and multiple Supervisors that handle the day to day workload. The General Industry division conducts safety and health inspections in all places of employment within the State of Indiana with the exception of those covered by the Construction Safety Division.
