New Mexico operates its own OSHA-approved State Plan covering private-sector workplaces, so most enforcement there is state-run. The federal OSHA records on this page cover only workplaces under federal jurisdiction in New Mexico (for example maritime, military installations, and federal agencies) — they are not a complete picture of workplace safety in the state.
