IOSHA state plan — coverage and jurisdiction
Indiana operates an OSHA-approved state plan administered by the Indiana Occupational Safety and Health Administration (IOSHA), part of the Indiana Department of Labor. The state plan covers all private sector workplaces and state and local government employers in Indiana. Federal OSHA retains jurisdiction over maritime employment (shipyard employment, marine terminals, and longshoring), contract workers and contractor-operated facilities engaged in United States Postal Service mail operations, and enforcement of the field sanitation standard (29 C.F.R. § 1928.110) and temporary labor camps standard (29 C.F.R. § 1910.142) with respect to agricultural establishments. IOSHA adopts all OSHA standards and regulations except it maintains a unique excavations standard.

Injury and illness reporting — fatalities, hospitalizations, amputations, and eye loss
All Indiana employers must report work-related fatalities to IOSHA within 8 hours of the death, regardless of company size or industry. Fatality reports must be made by phone. Employers must also report within 24 hours all work-related in-patient hospitalizations, amputations (with or without bone loss), and loss of an eye. These 24-hour reporting requirements apply to all employers, including those exempt from maintaining OSHA 300 logs due to size or industry classification. Non-fatality incidents may be reported using IOSHA's online Serious Event Reporting Form or by phone.
