When it comes to Tennessee, the state's capital city, Nashville, comes to the mind for many. Nashville is known as the country music capital of the world.2 The city is home to not just the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, but also the famous Grand Ole Opry.1 It turns out, when it comes to jobs more commonly found in Tennessee than the rest of the United States, musicians and singers rank at number twelve, while traffic technicians, automotive glass installers/repairers, and agricultural inspectors are the top three.3
When it comes to occupational safety and health administration in Tennessee, it’s one of twenty-two states/territories that have OSHA-approved State Plans. The Tennessee state plan (TOSHA) applies to private-sector workplaces with the exception of maritime employment, contract workers/contractor operated facilities engaged with USPS operations, railroad employment, employment at Tennessee Valley Authority facilities and military bases, and working conditions of aircraft cabin crew-members while on-board aircraft in operations.4 Learn more about TOSHA here.
