The state of Massachusetts is known to have many of the nation’s famous “firsts.” Some notable items and concepts that originated in Massachusetts include Thanksgiving, American University (Harvard), American printing press (Cambridge), American railroad (Quincy), and even gasoline-powered cars (Springfield).1 With all of the successful ideas that originally came from Massachusetts, it’s not surprising that today, many of the jobs more commonly found in Massachusetts than the other states include nuclear technicians, atmospheric scientists, and biochemists.2
When it comes to occupational safety and health administration in Massachusetts, the state follows federal regulations. There are currently three federal OSHA offices covering private-sector employees and workers; they are located in North Boston, South Boston and Springfield. Learn more about Massachusetts OSHA here.
