The Virgin Islands Occupational Safety and Health State Plan was converted to a public employee only occupational safety and health program on July 1, 2003.  It is administered and enforced by the Virgin Islands Department of Labor (VIDOL), Division of Occupational Safety and Health (VIDOSH) throughout the U.S. Virgin Islands. The Virgin Islands public employee program, established by the Virgin Islands Occupational Safety and Health (24 V.I.C. Chapter 2 – Act No. 6846) was amended on July 19, 2006, to reflect its limited public sector coverage in compliance with the revisions noted above. It extends full authority to the agency to enforce and administer all laws and rules protecting the safety and health of employees of the Government of the Virgin Islands, its departments, agencies, and instrumentalities, including any political subdivisions. It covers all activities of public employers and employees and places of public employment. The Territory has adopted all Federal standards applicable to the public sector in the Territory of the U.S. Virgin Islands and has given assurances that it will continue to adapt and update all Federal standards, revisions, and amendments.  Click here for more information.
