Alaska State OSHA Plan — Jurisdiction and Coverage
Alaska operates an OSHA-approved state plan administered by the Alaska Occupational Safety and Health Division (AKOSH), part of the Department of Labor and Workforce Development. The plan covers most private sector workers and all state and local government employees. Federal OSHA retains jurisdiction over maritime employment (including shipyards, marine terminals, and longshoring), worksites on navigable waters, federally owned Native American health care facilities, the U.S. Postal Service, and certain other federal operations. The state plan received initial approval on August 10, 1973, and final approval on September 26, 1984.
