For legislation to further define standards of employee safety. Labor and Workforce Development.
AI Summary
This bill aims to further define standards of employee safety in the state of Massachusetts. It amends Chapter 149 of the General Laws by inserting a new section, Section 6¾, which requires the state's Department of Labor and Workforce Development to adopt regulations providing at least the same level of protection to employees as the federal Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) of 1970. The bill also establishes a municipal occupational health and safety hazard subcommittee within the state's Occupational Health and Safety Hazard Advisory Board to evaluate injury and illness data, recommend safety measures, and monitor the effectiveness of safety programs. The attorney general is given the authority to enforce this new section. The bill will take effect 90 days after its enactment.
