Frequently Asked Questions

Does Arizona have its own OSHA standards for general contractor contractors?

Yes. Arizona operates a State Plan under ICA / ADOSH, which has authority to adopt standards that are at least as effective as federal OSHA. Arizona summers regularly exceed 115°F. ADOSH actively enforces heat illness prevention. Water access (1 quart/hour), shade within 2 minutes, and a heat illness prevention plan are effectively mandatory under the General Duty Clause.

Is a written safety plan legally required for general contractor contractors in Arizona?

While Arizona follows federal OSHA's general duty clause (Section 5(a)(1)), having a written safety program is considered best practice and is required by most general contractors during prequalification. OSHA can cite employers without a written program.

What are the OSHA fine amounts in Arizona?

In Arizona, serious OSHA violations carry fines up to $13,494 per violation. Willful or repeat violations can reach $134,937 per violation. Failure to abate a cited hazard adds up to $13,494 per day.

What documents do general contractor contractors typically need for prequalification?

Most general contractors and owners (ISNetworld, Avetta, Browz, Procore) require: (1) Written Safety Program (IIPP or HASP), (2) OSHA 300 Log for prior 3 years, (3) Experience Modification Rate (EMR) below 1.0, (4) Proof of worker's comp and liability insurance, and (5) Competent Person certifications for applicable trades.
