California OSHA State Plan vs Federal OSHA — what's different

A source-linked comparison surface assembled from the OSHA registry. Regulatory differences appear only when their current qualified-review and publication evidence is eligible; unavailable records are not replaced with unreviewed claims.

CoveragePrivate-sector and state/local government workplaces

California program context

This pilot page treats Cal/OSHA's program identity and coverage as registry facts, then separates those facts from reviewed divergence records. It publishes a comparison area only after a record has an official source, human review evidence, and approved customer-visible status.

The result is intentionally narrower than a general compliance guide: it shows what the approved record set can defend, and labels any evidence gap instead of filling it with generic claims.
