Except for the Postal Service, federal OSHA has no direct jurisdiction over government employers. Several Federal agencies have memoranda of understanding with OSHA that establish a process for inspections by OSHA, but not for fines.

However, for federal and state employees, the responsibility lies with agencies like the Federal Occupational Health (FOH) for federal employees and individual state agencies for state employees. These agencies work to develop and enforce health and safety regulations to protect government employees.
