Tribal Occupational Safety & Health Ordinance
The purpose of the Tribal Occupational Safety and Health Ordinance (TOSHA) is to create, maintain, continue, and enhance the safety and health program of the Prairie Island Indian Community, which shall equal or exceed the standards prescribed by the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970.
The Community Council finds that personal injuries and illnesses arising out of conditions of employment impose a substantial burden upon employers and employees in terms of lost productions, wage loss, medical expenses, and payment of benefits. The Community Council also finds that the safety, health, and welfare of the Community, its employees, and all those working within the jurisdiction will be advanced and protected by the Ordinance that expressly recognizes and memorializes protections for safe and healthful working conditions.
The Administrator of TOSHA is the Occupational Safety Manager of the Community and is tasked with providing for the preparation, adoption, amendment, or repeal of regulations of the Safety and Health Standards governing the conditions of employment of general and specific application in all Workplaces identified
