Answer to Question 1

OSHA issues both standards and regulations. Construction professionals need to know the difference between the two. OSHA standards address specific hazards such as working in confined spaces, handling hazardous waste, or working with dangerous chemicals. Regulations are more generic in some cases than standards and more specific in others. However, even when they are specific, regulations do not apply to specific hazards. Regulations do not require the rigorous review process that standards go through. This process is explained in the next section.

Answer to Question 2

Medical rehabilitation consists of providing whatever treatment is required to restore, to the extent possible, any lost ability to function normally. This may include such services as physical therapy or the provision of prosthetic devices. Vocational rehabilitation involves providing the education and training needed to prepare the worker for a new occupation. Whether the rehabilitation services are medical or vocational in nature or both, the goal is to restore the injured workers' capabilities to the level that existed before the accident.
