General Services Administration Occupational Safety and Health Program

1. Purpose. This Order establishes policy and procedures for the General Services Administration (GSA) Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Program for internal GSA agency operations. The purpose of the program is to ensure that GSA workplaces and work environments are free from recognized hazards that are likely to cause injuries or illnesses.

2. Authority. Federal executive branch occupational safety and health program requirements are mandated by the following:

a. Section 19 of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (29 U.S.C. § 668) (“OSH Act”),

b. Executive Order 12196, Occupational safety and health programs for Federal employees (“E.O. 12196”), and

c. Title 29 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 1960, Basic Program Elements for Federal Employee Occupational Safety and Health Programs and Related Matters (29 CFR § 1960).

The above requirements were issued in succession and 29 CFR 1960 contains the requirements mandated in the preceding OSH Act and E.O. 12196. Therefore this Order is based on compliance with 29 CFR 1960.

Unless otherwise specified, the per diem locality is defined as "all locations within, or entirely surrounded by, the corporate limits of the key city, including independent entities located within those boundaries."

Per diem localities with county definitions shall include"all locations within, or entirely surrounded by, the corporate limits of the key city as well as the boundaries of the listed counties, including independent entities located within the boundaries of the key city and the listed counties (unless otherwise listed separately)."

When a military installation or Government - related facility(whether or not specifically named) is located partially within more than one city or county boundary, the applicable per diem rate for the entire installation or facility is the higher of the rates which apply to the cities and / or counties, even though part(s) of such activities may be located outside the defined per diem locality.
