Bill Summary

The committee on Ways and Means, to whom was referred the Senate Bill to further define standards of employee safety (Senate, No. 999),-- reports, recommending that the same ought to pass with an amendment substituting a new draft with the same title (Senate, No. 2190).

AI Summary

This bill, building upon existing employee safety standards, proposes to establish new regulations for workplaces not already covered by specific safety laws, ensuring they provide at least the same level of protection as the federal Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (often referred to as OSHA), which sets national standards for safe and healthful working conditions. To guide these new regulations, the bill mandates the creation of a municipal occupational health and safety hazard subcommittee, composed of representatives from various municipal and professional organizations, to advise on injury data, recommend safety measures, and monitor their effectiveness. The attorney general will have the authority to take legal action to enforce these new safety provisions, and the act is set to become effective on January 1, 2017.
