Working alone in Nebraska
A starting point for safety consultation and hazardous work.
Authority and scope
Safety consultation and hazardous work
Federal OSHA covers most private-sector workers in Nebraska; state and local government workers are not covered by federal OSHA. The Nebraska Department of Labor offers no-cost safety and health consultations to eligible businesses, including help identifying hazards and improving safety programs.
This is one starting point for the work described, not a complete list of state or federal requirements. Check which agency and rules apply to the employer and task.

Questions for your plan
Which hazards need controls at the actual worksite, and can your business use the state consultation service?
What to review
Check consultation eligibility and limitations, including employer size and the exclusion of government organizations. Assess task hazards, communications, training and emergency response.
Some work requires another person on site. Remote monitoring does not replace that requirement or the organization's own assessment, training and emergency procedures.
