Who enforces in Ohio
Ohio has no OSHA-approved State Plan, so federal OSHA inspects private workplaces there, from its Cincinnati Area Office, Cleveland Area Office, Columbus Area Office and Toledo Area Office. Free on-site consultation, separate from enforcement: Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation (OSHA On-Site Consultation Program). OSHA's list of State Plans.
