Who is responsible for Maryland's Occupational Safety and Health Plan?

The Department of Labor
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration
The Division of Labor and Industry
The Maryland Safety Council

The correct answer is: The Division of Labor and Industry

In Maryland, the responsibility for the Occupational Safety and Health Plan lies with the Division of Labor and Industry. This division plays a critical role in administering the state's occupational safety and health programs, ensuring that workplace safety standards are effectively implemented and maintained. The Division of Labor and Industry collaborates with various stakeholders to promote safe working environments and compliance with both state and federal regulations concerning occupational safety. While the Department of Labor oversees broader labor-related issues, and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) operates at the federal level to enforce safety regulations nationwide, it is specifically the Division of Labor and Industry that tailors and manages Maryland's approach to workplace safety. The Maryland Safety Council, though engaged in efforts to promote safety practices, does not hold the official responsibility for the state's occupational safety and health plan. This delineation highlights the specialized functions of each organization in promoting and enforcing safety in the workplace.
