Rules and Compliance
 Oregon
OSHA's rules are separated into divisions. Division 1 applies to all employers
in addition to any of the rules in Divisions 2-7. Divisions 3-7 deal with specific
industries. Division 2 covers employers that are not explicitly covered by Divisions
3-7.

An Ode to the CodeAll workers here beneath the sun
Are covered by Division One
If industry pertains to you
Please consult Division Two
Construction workers, you will be
Enlightened by Division Three
In agriculture, know the score
As given in Division Four
Division Five, as ever, stands,
But comes to us from Federal Hands
While foresters do under heaven
Find guidance in Division Seven
O blessed codes, true and exact!
Fair children of the OSEAct!
In health and safety may we be
Kept in faithfulness to thee.
