Gade v. National Solid Wastes Management Association, 505 U.S. 88 (1992), was a case in which the Supreme Court of the United States determined that federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations preempted various Illinois provisions for licensing workers who handled hazardous waste materials. The state regulations had focused on health and safety, whereas the OSHA standards were aimed only at worker safety; but the state regulations were mainly duplicative. In other words, Illinois could have passed a law stricter than the OSHA standards, but here the state law didn't accomplish much more beyond those standards.
