Twenty-four (24) states are covered entirely by the federal OSHA program.

The Division of Labor Services is responsible for about a dozen programs designed to protect the safety, health and economic security of all Iowans. Their programs protect people who ride on elevators, escalators and amusement rides. They protect anyone who enters a building with an asbestos abatement project or a public building with a boiler. They protect employees from dangers in the workplace and protect employees' rights to be paid wages. They protect Iowa's children from dangers in workplaces and enhance their educational experiences. The Division enforces safety in the workplace, provides consultation to employers on occupational safety health compliance and maintains statistical information of workers' illness and injuries.
