Bill Summary
AN ACT Relating to notice requirements of identified hazards at 2 construction worksites; and amending RCW 49.17.120. 3
AI Summary
This bill amends existing law concerning workplace safety by modifying the requirements for notifying employers about identified hazards at construction worksites. Specifically, it changes the definition of construction activities for which notice is required, expanding it from just residential building construction (NAICS code 2361) to all building construction (NAICS code 236). The bill also clarifies that the department, which refers to the Department of Labor and Industries in Washington State, must make a good faith effort to provide notice of an immediately identified hazard to the employer or owner within 10 working days of an on-site inspection, and this notice does not alter any other rights or responsibilities under the law. The previous provisions that limited this notice requirement to a specific date and mandated a report to the legislature on compliance have been removed.
