Virginia is located on the East coast of the continental United States. The state's location along with the Chesapeake Bay area has made it into a top producer of seafood; Virginia is the third largest seafood producer in the world.1 The success seafood has brought to the state probably plays a role as to why ship engineers, sailors and captains are jobs more commonly found Virginia than in the rest of the United States. 2
When it comes to occupational safety and health administration in Virginia, it’s one of twenty-two states/territories that have OSHA-approved State Plans that cover private and state and local government workplaces. When it comes to private sector workplaces, the plan applies to private sector workplaces in the state with the exception of marine employment, USPS mail operations and affiliations, military locations falling under federal jurisdiction, the U.S. Department of Energy's Southeastern Power Administration Kerr–Philpott System employment, and working conditions of aircraft crew members on during flight operations.3 Learn more about Virginia OSHA here.
