Answer to Question 1

In general, the OSHAct covers employers in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and all other territories that fall under the jurisdiction of the U.S. government. Exempted employers are as follows:
 Persons who are self-employed
 Family farms that employ only immediate family members
 Federal agencies covered by other federal statues (in cases where these other federal statues do not cover working conditions in a specific area or areas, OSHA standards apply)
 State and local governments (except to gain OSHA's approval of a state-level safety and health plan, states must provide a program for state and local government)
 Coal miners (coal mines are regulated by mining-specific laws)

Answer to Question 2

The future of workers' compensation can be summarized in one word: reform. The key to reforming workers' compensation is finding a way to allocate more of the cost to benefits and medical treatment and less to administration and litigation
