UT OSHA Training Regulations and Standards

Utah adopted most Federal OSHA standards identically, but the state periodically supplements Federal standards with additional requirements. These supplements are found in section R614 on the Utah Labor Commission website. Supplements to federal standards found in the Administrative Code include, but are not limited to, the following:

• R614-1-4
  • Section C – Recordkeeping
  • Section D – Employer/Employee Responsibility

• R614-1-5 Personal Protective Equipment
