Bill > HB2107

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 to include all "construction of buildings" under the North American Industry Classification System code 236, rather than just residential building construction. The bill also mandates that when inspectors identify a hazard that could injure a worker during an on-site inspection, the department must make a good faith effort to notify the employer or owner within 10 working days, and this notice does not affect any other rights or responsibilities under the law. The previous provisions that limited this notice requirement to a specific date and required a report to the legislature on non-compliance have been removed.
