AI Summary

This bill aims to further define standards of employee safety in Massachusetts. It requires the state's Department of Labor and Workforce Development to adopt regulations providing at least the level of protection to employees as the federal Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), including OSHA's general duty clause. The bill also establishes a municipal occupational health and safety hazard subcommittee to the state's existing advisory board, which will evaluate injury and illness data, recommend training and safety measures, monitor program effectiveness, and determine if additional protections are needed. The Attorney General is authorized to enforce the new requirements through civil action. The bill is set to take effect on January 1, 2018.
