Step-by-step explanation:
Yes, some states have more stringent requirements than federal OSHA for working over or near water.
An example of a state with more stringent requirements is California. California has its own Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Cal/OSHA) that enforces workplace safety regulations. Cal/OSHA has specific regulations for working over or near water, such as the requirement for workers to wear personal flotation devices (life jackets) when working over water.
Other states may also have their own regulations that are more stringent than federal OSHA when it comes to working over or near water.
